<nc-section data-title="Version 1: The Stern Greeting" data-color="red"> As I dismounted near the stables, a burly man clad in gleaming armor approached. His face was stern, with a scar running down his left cheek. "You must be Frederick," he said, his voice gruff. "I am Sir Roland, your mentor. Prepare yourself, boy. Training begins at dawn, and I show no mercy to those who falter." His piercing gaze made me swallow hard, but I stood tall, determined to prove myself worthy. </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="Version 2: The Warm Welcome" data-color="green"> I was brushing down Thunder when a jovial voice called out. "Ah, Frederick! Late, but here at last!" Turning, I saw Sir Roland striding towards me, his broad smile framed by a neatly trimmed beard. His armor, though polished, bore the marks of countless battles. "Welcome to the castle," he said, clapping a hand on my shoulder. "Training starts tomorrow, but tonight, we feast! You’ll need your strength for the days ahead." His warmth eased the knots in my stomach. </nc-section> <nc-section data-title="Version 3: The Silent Challenge" data-color="blue"> The stables were alive with the sounds of neighing horses when Sir Roland appeared, his presence commanding immediate silence. He studied me with calm, calculating eyes, his armor reflecting the fading sunlight. Without a word, he tossed a wooden sword at my feet. Glancing up, I met his gaze, and a silent challenge passed between us. "Tomorrow," he finally said, his voice steady, "we’ll see if you’re as promising as they say." He turned and walked away, leaving me to ponder the weight of his expectations. </nc-section>
