The Neverending Story
THE NEVERENDING STORY
We learn that a boy named Bastian runs into a book shop to hide from some school bullies, and when he gets in the room, he meets a man named Carl Coreander. This man owns the book store, however he does not take kindly to Bastian's abrupt intrusion and says that Bastian wouldn't understand any of the books in the store. When Coreander goes to get the phone Bastian notices a book on the table that says the Neverending Story on the binding and around that are 2 snakes that are holding each others tail in their mouths. We also learn about Bastian Balthazar Bux and his characteristic, like he is a short, fat boy, who does poorly in school, and has no mother. After Bastian notices the book he feels drawn to it and then Bastian grabs it and puts it in his backpack and runs to the school, where he hides in the attic and makes himself comfortable. Then he starts reading the book and that's where chapter one begins. The chapter starts with a creature called the will-o-the-wisp in the Howling Forest, which is a part of a place called Fantastica. The wisp is on his way to deliver a message to the Childlike Empress, who is like the leader of all of Fantastica, and he is to tell her that this thing called a "Nothing" is taking over Fantastica, along the way there he meets 3 other messengers delivering the same message. These three creatures are from different parts of Fantastica, but because they are all on the same mission one of them insists that they travel together but they all want to get there before each other so they race off alone in the end of the discussion. Eventually all three get there arriving at different times, when they arrive at the Ivory Tower which is considered the center of Fantastica because it is the home of the Childlike Empress the four creatures find that the nothing has been spreading in areas all over Fanastica and all these messengers were already there to see the Childlike Empress.
