Here are three alternate prose sections that continue the story: <nc-section data-title="Version 1" data-color="red"> As I dismounted Thunder, a burly man with a bushy red beard emerged from the stables. His armor was adorned with the emblem of a golden lion, and his gruff demeanor commanded respect. "Well met, young lad," he boomed, extending a massive hand. "I am Sir Roland, the kingdom's senior knight. Welcome to our humble abode. Your arrival has been much anticipated." </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="Version 2" data-color="green"> As I led Thunder into the cool shade of the stables, a cloaked figure stepped out of the shadows. The snap of his cloak revealed a gleaming silver coat of mail, adorned with a sprig of holly. His piercing green eyes seemed to bore into my very soul. "Greetings, young Frederick," he said in a low, smooth voice. "I am Sir Roland, the kingdom's most trusted knight. I see you've arrived in one piece. Well done." </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="Version 3" data-color="blue"> I was about to stable Thunder when a tall, lanky knight strolled out of the castle, his helmet tucked under one arm. His armor was a brilliant blue, adorned with a silver crescent moon. He flashed a warm smile, and his eyes twinkled with amusement. "Ah, Frederick, at last!" he exclaimed, clapping me on the back. "I'm Sir Roland, the kingdom's resident storyteller and chief instigator of mischief. Welcome to our little corner of the realm." </nc-section>
