Here are three alternate prose sections that continue the story: **Version 1 (red)** <nc-section data-title="The Knight's Gauntlet" data-color="red"> Sir Roland approached me with a stern expression, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "So, you're the new squire," he said, eyeing me up and down. "I see you're looking a bit rough around the edges. We'll need to work on your sword skills if you hope to survive here." </nc-section> **Version 2 (green)** <nc-section data-title="A New Beginning" data-color="green"> As I dismounted Thunder, Sir Roland dismounted from his own horse and approached me, a warm smile on his face. "Welcome, young Frederick! We've been expecting you. I trust your journey was uneventful?" He eyed the bundle of clothes and armor slung over my shoulder. "I see you've brought some of your own gear. That's the first step towards becoming a true knight: being prepared for whatever comes your way." </nc-section> **Version 3 (blue)** <nc-section data-title="A Knight's Challenge" data-color="blue"> As I tied Thunder to the hitching post, Sir Roland approached me, his eyes narrowing as he sized me up. "I'm Sir Roland, the master-at-arms here at the castle," he said, his voice like a gentle breeze on a summer day. "I see you're eager to start your training. But before we begin, I need to ask you one thing: are you prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead? Because I'm not going to sugarcoat it, boy – being a knight is hard work, and not everyone makes it through unscathed." </nc-section>
