| More Neverending Story... |
| While his classmates were doing a maths test, Bastian settles himself down in the school attic and begins to read the mysterious book he borrowed from Koreander, and by doing so, becomes a character within the plot. We venture into Fantasia to find Night Hob, his Bat, Teeny Weeny and his racing snail, camping out in a dark forest. Both the Night Hob and Teeny Weeny have travelled from their part of Fantasia to seek help from the Child-like Empress and are taking a rest. The Night Hob's Bat [large enough to carry Night Hob on his back], is asleep and hanging upside-down from a tree branch. Teeny Weeny's Snail, also large enough to carry Teeny Weeny, is being fed by him. |
| In the distance a rumbling can be heard and Night Hob awakens and sniffs the air. His bat continues to sleep. As the sound gets closer, the ground begins to shake and before they know what to do, it appears. Sitting on a Rock-Cycle, is a Rock Biter. As tall as a 5 storey building, Rock Biter looks down at the 2 travellers and asks if he can join them. Afraid and unsure of what to do, they reluctantly agree and Rock Biter makes himslef comfortable in a clearing next to them. Hungry from his Journey - he is also a traveller, he samples some of the larger rocks next to him.. |
| Rock Biter:[licking lips] Aah, that was Limestone, with a touch of Quartz. ..Whe-Where I come from we used to have lots of yummy gourmet rocks...But now, there all gone... Night Hob: Ha! I know how it happened! Rock Biter: I swear, it wasn't me.. Teeny Weeny: I think I know how it happened, tell us more. Rock Biter: Where I come from we used to have a lake and one day nothing was there. Teeny Weeny: Did the lake... dry up? Rock Biter: No, no, that would be something no, there was nothing. |
| After the 3 travellers share their experiences, they realise that the Nothing has plagued many parts of Fantasia and as representatives for their region were sent to beseech the Child-like Empress in the Ivory Tower for help... |
| Teeny Weeny: What are we waiting for!? Rock Biter: Yes! Yes! Let's go now. [Teeny Weeny prepares to ride his Snail] Rock Biter: Can I carry you? Teeny Weeny: No, she's a racing snail! Night Hob: [mumbling]And no one gives a hoot about me and my stupid bat! |
| So off they go. The Rock Biter on his Rock Cycle, Teeny Weeny on his Racing Snail [going very fast], and Night Hob riding on the back of his stupid bat [who falls asleep mid air while flying]. |
