    Summary: “The Last Battle”

    In the final battle of Beowulf, the aging hero faces a new threat: a fearsome dragon that
    terrorizes his kingdom. The dragon is angry/vengeful because a thief stole from its hoard of
    treasure. Despite being older and knowing he may not have the same strength as in his youth,
    Beowulf decides to confront the dragon to protect his people.
