"If you come any closer, I will rip you to shreds." "Who are you?" "I am Gmork. And you, whoever you are, can have the honor of being my last victim." "I will not die easily. I am a warrior." "Ah, brave warrior. Then fight the Nothing!" "But I can't, I can't get beyond the boundaries of Fantasia!" "Ha Ha Ha!" "What's so funny about that?" "Fantasia has no boundaries." "That's not true. You're lying." "Foolish boy. Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind, therefore, it has no boundary." "But why is Fantasia dying then?" "Because people have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the Nothing grows stronger." "What is the Nothing?" "It is what is left. It is like a despair destroying this world and I've been trying to help it." "But why?" "Because people who have no hopes are easy to control, and whoever has the control, has the power." "Who are you really?" "I am the Servant of the Power behind the Nothing. I was sent to kill the only one who could have stopped the Nothing. I lost him in the Swamp of Sadness. His name was Atreyu." "If we're about to die anyway, I'd rather die fighting. Come for me Gmork, I am Atreyu." And
foolishly, the Servant lunges at Atreyu who buries a fatal sliver of rock
in its chest, killing the poor thing... so sad really.
