Dialectical Journal's

Journal 1:

Grendel is a cool demon dude. Grendel was exiled from humanity. He killed Abel, making Cain mad, causing him to outlaw Grendel. Wanting to be recognized because he couldn't participate, so he stated to kill people because he couldn't be a part of anything. He became bad enough that Beowulf started hunting him.

Journal 2:

Shield Sheafson means more than a name. A Sheafson is the son of grain. Grain is pretty much all of life. So his name means a shield of grain, meaning that he is a protector of crops, making the fields grow. As Fielding says "He's kinda magical."
