Here are three alternate prose sections that continue the story: **Version 1 (Red) - Dramatic Encounter** <nc-section data-title="A Knight's Boisterous Welcome" data-color="red"> As I dismounted Thunder near the stables, a booming voice echoed off the stone walls, making me turn sharply. Sir Roland, the local knight, emerged from the shadows, his broad face split by a wide grin. "By the kingdom's sword, you must be the young Frederick! We've been expecting you, Squire!" He clapped me on the back, nearly sending me stumbling. "Come, let us get the formalities over with, and then... we feast!" </nc-section> **Version 2 (Green) - Whimsical Introduction** <nc-section data-title="A Lighthearted Greeting" data-color="green"> As Thunder nuzzled the stable door, seeking treats, a jovial figure approached us. Sir Roland's eyes twinkled like the stars on a clear night, and his wild, curly hair seemed to have a life of its own. "Ah, Frederick, our newest squire! Welcome to the castle, where chivalry meets chaos." With a flourish, he swept off his helmet, revealing a mischievous glint in his eye. "I trust your journey was uneventful? We can't have our new recruit arriving in a state of disarray... unless, of course, that's your style." </nc-section> **Version 3 (Blue) - Stoic First Meeting** <nc-section data-title="A Measured Reception" data-color="blue"> I led Thunder into the stable courtyard, where Sir Roland awaited, his expression a mask of composed courtesy. His armor, adorned with the kingdom's emblem, gleamed in the fading light. "Greetings, Frederick. I am Sir Roland, your sponsor and mentor during your time here." His voice was firm, yet measured, as he extended a gauntleted hand. "I trust your arrival was without incident. Let us proceed to the great hall, where we will discuss the particulars of your training and the... current state of our kingdom." </nc-section>
