Heart of a Bear

The yearling trekked through the snow, noting it was somewhat deeper here than other areas he'd been to. Then again it was the North...he hadn't been up this way since he was a pup, but now that he was a yearling he was braving the world more and more as opposed to keeping to one area for most of his young life. He had felt safe among the caves...but he knew he couldn't stay there forever. When a grizzly decided to move in, he knew it was time to go. There was no way he could fight one of those by himself...

He just hated the fact that he'd been forced to leave behind his precious belongings. He didn't have time to gather them up before the bear chased him out. He heavily sighed as he gazed up at the trees, amazed at how gigantic they were. He had never seen anything like it before, and he was starting to feel small and insignificant against the giant redwoods...
