Atreyu and Falkor, who assist Bastian in his adventures, warn him that his wishes also have consequences for Fantastica, but he ignores them.

Gradually, it becomes clear that for each wish, Bastian loses one memory of his human life. With AURYN’s assistance, Bastian begins to enact adventures of his own choosing. Falkor and Atreyu escape Spook City and go straight to the Childlike Empress. Just in time, Falkor appears, having retrieved AURYN from the sea. He is trapped, with The Nothing bearing down on him. G’mork dies, but when Atreyu approaches his body, the wolf’s jaws snap shut on his leg. He reveals to Atreyu that all the former inhabitants of the city have leaped of their own free will into The Nothing, where they have become lies in the human world. G’mork is a servant of The Manipulators, who have created The Nothing, but he is dying. Amongst the monsters that haunt these ruins, Atreyu encounters the wolf G’mork, chained up and starving. AURYN is lost in the sea, and Atreyu lands amongst the ruins of Spook City.

Falkor and Atreyu set off in search of the border between Fantastica and the human world, but they are driven back by the Wind Giants, and Atreyu is hurled from Falkor’s back. Falkor helps Atreyu to find Uyulala, who tells Atreyu how the Empress can be healed: she must be given a new name by a human child. On his way to find Uyulala, Atreyu rescues a luckdragon, Falkor, from the monster Ygramul the Many. However, he can’t afford to buy it, so he steals the book and takes it back to his hideaway in the attic of his school, where he settles down to read.Ītreyu seeks the advice of the wise giant turtle, Morla the Aged One, who suggests that an invisible oracle, Uyulala, might know how to cure the Empress. Browsing at random, he stumbles on a novel called The Neverending Story. One day, in order to escape his tormentors, he ducks into the antiquarian bookstore owned by Carl Conrad Coreander. His misery is compounded by bullying at school. His mother has died, and his father is cold and distant. Bastian Balthazar Bux is a strange, nerdy, and overweight boy. However, the movie reproduced only the first half of Ende’s book, and the author was so outraged that he sued the producers. The Neverending Story was adapted into a movie of the same title in 1984. It follows the adventures of Bastian Balthazar Bux, a boy who has been victimized by bullies, as he escapes into the fantasy world of a novel, also called The Neverending Story, first by reading it, and later by literally entering the world of the novel. The Neverending Story ( Die unendliche Geschichte) is a 1979 young adult novel by the German writer Michael Ende, first published in English in 1983.
