Bowing his head slightly, he said, "Welcome, Frederick. I’ve been expecting you." He looked at me with a serious expression, then added, "The days ahead will be long and hard. You’ve demonstrated great promise, and now it's time for you to prove your worth." green Sir Roland placed a hand on my shoulder and looked directly into my eyes.

Sir Roland just kept staring at me with his intense gaze, awaiting my response. blue Sir Roland took a step closer to me as I held the reigns of Thunder in my hand. He gazed upon the stallion with a look of pride and respect. "Frederick, this horse is an excellent specimen - spirited and brave. You two make a formidable team." His expression then turned serious, "We’ll be training him to be swift in battle. Remember that this horse will be a great asset to you - take good care of him and he will protect you when times get hard." redd fps I bowed my head in gratitude. "Thank you, Sir Roland. I wouldn't want any other mentor than you." green fps I took a deep breath and straightened my back to look directly into Sir Roland's eyes. "I know there will be challenges ahead but I am ready to do what it takes. I am truly honored to be under your guidance." blue fps I drew closer to Sir Roland once again, nodding in agreement at his words. "Of course, Sir Roland. Thunder and I will work as one efficient machine when we take on those challenges."
