Here are three alternate prose sections that continue the story: <nc-section data-title="Version 1" data-color="red"> As I approached the stables, I saw a tall, imposing figure waiting for me. It was Sir Roland, the local knight. He had a stern face, with a thick beard and piercing blue eyes. He wore a suit of shining armor, with a sword at his side. "Fredderick," he said, his voice deep and commanding. "Welcome to the castle. I trust your journey was uneventful?" I nodded, trying to hide my nervousness. "Yes, sir. Thank you for having me." Sir Roland nodded curtly. "You'll be training with me from now on. I hope you're ready for the challenge." </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="Version 2" data-color="green"> I dismounted Thunder and led him towards the stables. As I approached, I saw Sir Roland, the local knight, waiting for me. He was a tall man, with broad shoulders and a friendly smile. He wore a simple tunic and breeches, with a sword at his side. "Hello, Frederick," he said, extending his hand. "Welcome to the castle. I'm Sir Roland, and I'll be your mentor during your training." I shook his hand, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "Thank you, sir. I'm excited to get started." Sir Roland smiled. "I'm glad to hear it. Let's get your horse settled, and then I'll show you around the castle." </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="Version 3" data-color="blue"> As I rode into the stable yard, I saw a man waiting for me. He was tall and slender, with a kind face and a gentle smile. He wore a simple tunic and breeches, with a sword at his side. I recognized him immediately as Sir Roland, the local knight. "Welcome, Frederick," he said, his voice warm and friendly. "I'm Sir Roland, and I'll be your mentor during your training." I dismounted Thunder and bowed deeply. "Thank you, sir. I'm honored to be here." Sir Roland smiled. "The honor is mine, Frederick. I've heard great things about you. I'm looking forward to working with you and seeing what you can accomplish." </nc-section>
