<nc-section data-title="The Stablemaster's Welcome" data-color="red"> As I dismounted Thunder, the heavy oak door of the stables creaked open. A towering figure emerged, silhouetted against the torchlight within. Sir Roland's armor gleamed crimson in the sunset, his face stern beneath a graying beard. "You're the new squire," he stated, his voice like grinding stones. "Tend to your mount before you think of tending to yourself. A knight's first duty is to his steed." He crossed his massive arms, watching as I fumbled with the saddle straps, his unblinking gaze making my hands tremble. </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="A Mentor's Greeting" data-color="green"> I was brushing down Thunder when a calm voice spoke from the stable doorway. "A fine animal you have there." Sir Roland leaned against the frame, his green tabard bearing the castle's oakleaf sigil. His eyes held a welcoming warmth as he approached, running an experienced hand along Thunder's flank. "A squire who cares for his mount cares for his future," he said with a gentle smile. "Come, let me show you the proper way to stable a warhorse. We begin your training now." </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="An Unexpected Meeting" data-color="blue"> The stable doors swung open just as I finished watering Thunder. Sir Roland stood framed in the entrance, the evening light catching the silver in his hair and the blue enamel of his armor. "Frederick of the Western Fields?" he asked, his voice measured and thoughtful. When I nodded, he gestured toward the castle. "The stables can wait. First, you should see what you're training to protect." He led me to the outer wall where the kingdom stretched out below us, bathed in twilight blue. "This is why we serve." </nc-section>
