The Legend of Bolder, from Tales of the True Men, an epic account of heroic deeds, chronicled in our time by Jim Heter.
Between the Old Time, which nearly everyone has forgotten, and the New Time, which most believe is all the time that has been, there was another time, remembered now only in legend, when the world was a place of dark mystery, and giants and demons were real and roamed the earth.
It was then that Bolder, the Iron Knight, met Groan the Dwarf and Ander the Elf, and set out to save the Plain Kingdom from the siege of the Black Knight and his Hairy Hoards.
"So you want me to tell you a bed-time story, huh?"
"Yes!"
"Do you want it to be a fairy story?"
"Okay."
"A scary fairy story?"
"Yes!"
"A very scary fairy story?"
"Ummm!"
"Well this ones even better than that!"
"Oooh?"
"It's a very hairy scary fairy story!"
"Ahhh!"
"It all starts a long, long time ago..."
