<nc-section data-title="Version 1: The Warm Welcome" data-color="red"> As I dismounted from Thunder, a figure emerged from the shadows of the stable. It was Sir Roland, a knight known throughout the land for his bravery and skill in battle. He greeted me with a firm handshake and a warm smile. "Welcome, Frederick. I've heard much about you. Your father spoke highly of your abilities," Sir Roland said. I felt a surge of pride at his words. It had been a long journey to get here, and I was determined to prove myself worthy of my father's legacy. </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="Version 2: The Test Begins" data-color="green"> As I approached the stables, I saw Sir Roland waiting for me. He was a tall and imposing figure, with a stern look on his face. He barely acknowledged my presence as I dismounted from Thunder. "I hope you didn't have any trouble finding your way here, Frederick. But now that you're here, the real test begins," Sir Roland said. I could feel my heart racing in my chest. What kind of test was he talking about? I had come to this castle to learn, not to be thrown into some kind of trial by fire. </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="Version 3: Unexpected Surprise" data-color="blue"> As I tethered Thunder to a post outside the stable, I heard a loud crash. I whirled around to see Sir Roland lying on the ground, a bucket of water spilled next to him. He looked up at me, a sheepish grin on his face. "Ah, Frederick. I see you've finally arrived. I hope you don't mind if I take a moment to compose myself," Sir Roland said. I couldn't help but laugh. It was clear that Sir Roland wasn't the stern and unyielding knight that I had imagined him to be. Despite the initial surprise, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. This was going to be an interesting journey, to say the least. </nc-section> <storySoFar> Frederick, a young squire, arrives at the castle to begin his training.
