Seriousness - A story of how a lone cub tries to become a lone wolf

There is a thing about Nathan that many people give for granted, the fact that he is a serious person, but this was not always true. When he was young and in the process of turning himself into a lone wolf, many of his before called friends begin ignoring him. He thought this was because he was too childish to appeal to someone of his age, he was still a child back then, but he wasn't that childish as far as many people concern of childness, he was as childish as whatever normal child is. However, this seamed too childish for his friends and aquaintances.
He used to read a lot, and as a result of this his imagination was glowing with far-away lands, adventures, misteries, romances and tresueres. He made then a romantic image of a perfect person, the heroe who rescued the princes locked in the castle or the fierce capitan of a ship who fought for what he believed was good and right, or the man who gives away everything in serch of a better world. He looked up to the greatest clasical heroes, Ulisses, Aquiles, Ivanhoe, king Arthur, Don Quijote de la Mancha and many more.
He loved this world but, as a result of all this events, Nathan began asking himself how to become more grown-up, he looked at every adult he knew and he thought he had found in them the answer. He shall become a serious person in order to appear more growned up. So he locked up this imaginary world of him in a solid stone wall, only revealing to him as dreams, stories and drawing of this far-away lands, adventures, misteries, romances and tresueres.
In the end nothing was going as he thought it would go, he was serious, maybe too serious for a child and as a result he became lonelier than he used to be. He was now a lone wolf.
