Does this make sense?

THANK YOU TEACHERS!

The boys ventured deeper into the cave, descending a steep slope, which turned to the right every few feet or so, and so was very much like a spiral staircase, but which was made of stone, and twice as narrow. After making a few turns, the light faded, leaving only oppressive darkness ahead. Bjorn turned and stared intently at the final glimmer of light behind him, unsure of whether he should put an end to what was becoming less of a game with every next step and more of a dangerous exploration. Olaf, however, seemed to lack the natural sense of impending danger gripping his brother, and instead, with every step, was becoming more confident and self-assured. The tables were indeed turning with every step these boys took, for no one would have predicted that Bjorn, a boy on the cusp of manhood, who frequently fought alongside his father, would be frightened by something as common and benign as darkness. After taking a few more steps, this thought hit Bjorn like a bolt of thunder. He jolted to a halt, and cast it aside, fearing over the prospect of being put to shame by his lesser brother, who was, of course, the runt of the litter.
