Better watch your step

It hadn't been long since he'd been exploring new areas on his own, but now that he'd discovered this sort of independence, he was quite enjoying it. He felt so much older, so much bigger than before. His paws were still so big and clumsy... but his legs had grown. I'm gonna be taller than anyone else! he thought proudly to himself. He didn't need to be with someone all the time, there were lots of things he could do on his own. Normally he'd stick around with his siblings, or his dad, but today he wanted to get out and explore all by himself. And it was great. He had discovered the mines, and it looked like nothing he'd ever seen before. Everything in nature had uneven edges, natural curves. This cavern looked so symmetrical. It's opening was well-rounded, and the ground was flat. Ramsay approached the dark entrance, wondering what was inside, although he hadn't decided whether to go inside or not. Curiosity did pull him; maybe he should go in. I'll go in before any of my siblings do, and I'll be the one to tell them all about it! he thought, grinning to himself as he began to move toward the mine's entrance.
