It was Sir Roland, the knight whose reputation for valor preceded him. He approached with a steady gait, his hand outstretched in greeting. "Welcome to the castle, young Frederick," he said, his voice as strong as the battlements that surrounded us. "Your journey has been long, but your true test begins now." I took his hand, feeling the calloused strength in his grip. His eyes, the color of steel, bore into mine, sizing up the man I was, and the knight I hoped to become. </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="Chapter 2: The Greeting" data-color="green"> The dust of the road still clung to my clothes as I led Thunder towards the stables. The scent of hay and horseflesh filled the air, a familiar comfort amidst the grandeur of the castle. As I was about to stable my weary steed, a figure stepped out from the shadows, his presence commanding yet welcoming. "Ah, the young squire arrives at last," Sir Roland's voice resonated with a hint of mirth. "I am Sir Roland, protector of these lands. You carry the look of determination well-suited for the path you've chosen." His words were a balm to my travel-weary soul, and I felt a surge of excitement. This was the man I would learn from, the man who would forge me into a knight. </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="Chapter 2: The Greeting" data-color="blue"> The clinking of armor and the soft nicker of horses greeted my ears as I stepped into the stables' cool interior. I was checking Thunder's hooves when a firm hand clapped me on the shoulder, causing me to startle. "Frederick, is it?" The voice was warm, and I turned to see Sir Roland, his face weathered by countless battles, yet his smile was genuine. "I've heard much about your eagerness. The life of a knight is not an easy one, but with dedication, you will find your mettle." His words were like a beacon, guiding me toward my destiny. I stood tall, meeting the gaze of my new mentor, ready to embrace the challenges that lay ahead. </nc-section>
