The Neverending Story

Bastian Balthazar Bux was a little boy around the age of ten or twelve. He lived with his father, because his mother died. When his mother was still alive his relationship with his father had been great. But since then they rarely spoke, his father became quiet, and very sad, Bastian couldn’t reach him. He didn’t care when Bastian was put back in school the year before. Bastian’s time at school had been hard too, his classmates made fun of his fatness and clumsiness, and they were laughing at him when they discovered that having no friend to talk to he talked to himself. He told himself stories, about all sort of things, of knights and warriors, of great kings and queens, unicorns and other fantastic animals. He also loved books. All sort of fantasy-books, but all stories must end once, and he was always very sad when one ended.

At the Ivory Tower the Childlike Empress was gone the people said forever. Xayide made Bastian believe that she left only to leave her place to Bastian.

But now Bastian was afraid. Not about being wrong but about himself. He was fat and clumsy and pale, what would they say; they would be disappointed. He didn’t want that. He didn’t want to appear in front of them, he would have done anything other they ask but this.

The Childlike Empress told Atreyu that he did well, for he brought the saviour with him. But he couldn’t understand. She told him that she had known that she had to get a new name and only a human could give it to her. Atreyu felt that his quest had been for nothing. He was angry with her. But she explained that the saviour, this human escorted him on his quest, he took part in everything he did. She told Atreyu that he heard his cry at Ygramul and saw him in the Magic Mirror Gate. So Atreyu understood everything.
