Once there true to form he ignored the advice of those stationed in the mine much longer than him, until finally he saw the error in his ways. While digging through the rock one fateful day the ground rumbles and crevices split. Revealed after the tremors are the true monsters of the deep. His actions, triggered by self-preservation, as well as duty, will show how much he has indeed grown.
