My horse, a majestic stallion named Thunder, galloped across the open field. The wind whipped through my hair as I rode towards the castle gates. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the stone walls. I could see the banners of the kingdom fluttering in the breeze.

Here are three alternate versions continuing the story: <nc-section data-title="The Veteran's Greeting" data-color="red"> The gravel crunched loudly under Thunder's hooves as we slowed to a walk inside the bailey. A figure emerged from the shadows of the stable, his silhouette broad and imposing. Sir Roland stood with arms crossed, his weathered face as unyielding as the castle stone. A long, pale scar ran from his temple to his jaw, a map of past battles. "You're late, boy," he grunted, his voice a low rumble. "The sun waits for no squire, and neither do I. Tend to your beast. Then find me in the yard. Your soft hands have a fortnight to learn the feel of steel." </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="An Unexpected Welcome" data-color="green"> I had just slid from Thunder's back, my legs stiff from the long ride, when a cheerful voice called out. "Ho there! You must be Frederick!" Sir Roland strode towards me, a warm smile visible beneath his helm. He clapped a heavy, gauntleted hand on my shoulder, nearly buckling my knees. "We've been expecting you. Let's get this fine fellow settled," he said, taking Thunder's reins with a gentle expertise. "The oats here are the best in the realm. A good meal for him, and then one for you. A squire fights on a full stomach, I always say." </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="A Quiet Assessment" data-color="blue"> The castle courtyard was a whirl of noise and motion, but near the stables, a pocket of calm prevailed. Sir Roland leaned against a wooden post, simply observing my arrival. He didn't speak as I dismounted, his keen blue eyes missing no detail—from the way I handled the reins to the respectful pat I gave Thunder's sweating neck. After a long moment, he nodded, almost to himself. "The horse is well-kept. That is a start," he said, his voice quiet but carrying clearly. "Water him slowly. I will be at the armory when you are finished. We begin with the proper care of a sword. It is an extension of your arm, not just a tool." </nc-section>
