    Giddy

    Prologue

    Let me introduce myself. My name was Giles Gilford Stumblebrook and is now Giddy. At least that's what my friends call me. But in the eyes of the court of good King Edward, I am known as Sir Giles Gilford Stumblebrook.

    I know. You're asking yourself how has this commoner gone from being a poor farmer boy to a Knight of the Golden Realms? Well, let me tell you, it wasn't easy. Perhaps a little in the beginning, but to live up to the title of Knight I've spent a lifetime of learning how to become a true knight. Not one who thrusts and slams the villain he opposes with spear, sword and lance, but who has learned patience, wisdom and kindness in his every word, deed and action.

    A true knight isn't just someone who handles spears, jousts, rescues damsels from fire breathing dragons, or fights for the honor of the king and kingdom. A true knight is so much more than that.

    So I have decided to tell this story. Not just to help you understand what a real knight is, but to help me review my life to this point in time and put everything in perspective. Believe me, there's a lot to put in that most wonderful of places: Perspective!

    At least that's what my impish friend tells me when he's not being the brat he's so accustomed to being. But that...that is another story.

    First let me state during my time I was a favorite of good King Edward and his lovely bride, Queen Eleanor. The One Light bless her soul, for she is now departed to dwell with those other wonderful souls in the Light Realms where all of us must go to dwell at some time and if we are lucky come forth again into the World of Man to try once more to learn the lessons we have failed to learn in our last life.

    King Edward, a man who held his kingdom together not by the fist of power, but by the warmth of friendship was the main reason why I became a knight. Without his decision to press me into his service, I would probably to this day still be fetching bales of hay for my barnyard animals and my neighbors. I'm not saying that's a horrible thing to do now or it was at that time, or to live as a person, but had I done so I would never have had all the wonderful adventures I am about to tell you about. My world would now be a lot emptier and my life very shallow indeed to what it has become.

    King Edward is beloved by his people throughout the Golden Realms and the depth and breadth of the Golden Forests that ring in his mountain kingdom. He has become a legend in his own time, much as your more modern King Arthur of Camelot. How I know about that, is something I am saving for a later story. Suffice it to say that I know.

    King Edward ruled from a beautiful castle where even the humblest of servants were treated equally and with kindness. If a mistake were made then there was time for it to be corrected and if the luckless individual could not learn from those mistakes, then they were found another occupation, treated equally as important, but in a different direction. No was punished, beaten or tortured. He was not that kind of king. And I am happy to say he never has been!

    Thus all the peoples of the Golden Kingdom as it was named then were at one with the will of good King Edward. So it is also that Giddy, I, found he one day elevated from the position of a humble stable hand to a knight within one brief moment.

    Here good people are where our true story begins and how it ends is yet in the making and shall unfold over time as all our lives do.

    Why do I regress from our first
