Sir Roland stood not with a welcome, but with a sword drawn, its point catching the last sliver of sunlight. "Dismount," he commanded, his voice like gravel. "And prove you can handle more than a docile horse. The stable yard is your first arena.

His armor was scuffed and practical, his smile warm. "You must be Frederick," Sir Roland boomed, his voice friendly. "We've been expecting you. Let me help you with that tack. The journey from the borderlands is long, and a squire's first duty is to see to his mount.

Ask yourself, squire—what do you seek in the coming dark?" </nc-section>
