THE NEVERENDING HUNT BONUS CLUE
The dastardly deed did indeed
Cause a Never-Ending battle;
As extras ensue, the cache is due—
With a name still left to unravel!
It's a lot to unspool, but a Northern Tool
Will help point the right direction
To the treasure's home in the leafy zone
In Hollows' central section.
Step off the space, about 15 paces
From a tree in a V nearby—
The weedy enclave may not be your fave,
But that’s where the riches lie!
CHAPTER EIGHT
Don’t cry foul—get to the Hollows!
Follow the glow of the Auyrn;
From open space, begin the race—
And break our hex for the win!
Between the lines—1st and 3rd combined
With the edge of the leafy zone,
Near the Nothing’s nexus, victory vexes;
Let the compass guide you home.
Rockbiter's treat, laid down neat,
Conceals the chest of fame;
For infinite glory put an end to the story—
By calling the Empress' name!
CHAPTER SEVEN
As Atreyu, alone and far from home,
Wandered through Spook City ruin,
A void-black soul spied from a hole,
Teeth agleam and inhuman!
The wolflike creature, Gmork the seeker—
Allegiance sworn to the Nothing—
Cut to the chase from an underground place,
Howling and huffing and puffing!
CHAPTER SIX
Nothing nearing, Emptiness clearing
Fantasia's enchanted lands;
Spirits flaggin', warrior and dragon
Stuck to the best laid plans...
On the stormy Seas of Possibilities,
Into the wind they steered,
But Falkor rolled and Atreyu lost hold—
Into the depths, he disappeared.
CHAPTER FIVE
Hopscotching jinxes to conquer the sphinxes
Of the Southern Oracle,
Atreyu reveals that the Story is real—
And not metaphorical...
As he did peer through the Magic Mirror,
The Earthling Boy couldn't conceive it;
The Empress' new name was his to proclaim—
Bastian just had to believe it!
CHAPTER FOUR
Atreyu survived—by Falkor revived—
In the warmth of the inglenook;
A mess of pottage at the cavernous cottage
Of Urgl and Engywook!
Gnomes of science, they offered alliance
With potions, tools, and research;
Scoping his goal from atop the knoll,
Atreyu leapt down from their perch.
CHAPTER THREE
Journeying forth, toward the north,
Through an eternal, somber vastness,
Atreyu stayed true, but couldn’t undo
The loss of his steed to the sadness.
Falling from smack off Morla’s back,
The Ancient One spoke like a dirge;
As Atreyu lost hope, he started to mope—
Which caused the Boy to submerge.
CHAPTER TWO
Cairon’s report to the Ivory Court:
A champion must step up to the reins!
And so they did zero in on a Boy hero
From beyond the grassy plains…
Atreyu the Warrior, quester and quarrier—
And Artax, his noble stallion—
Were called to the palace and given a talisman:
The AURYN—a mythic medallion!
CHAPTER ONE
The Rockbiter tramped to the teeny camp
Of Vooshvazool and Gluckuck,
Escaping the scourge as its forces converged;
The Nothing was running amok!
With plan instilled, they sped off as a guild
To avoid being wiped from existence—
To the palatial pad of an Empress down bad:
The Ivory Tower, off in the distance.
PROLOGUE
The story goes down in a Washington town,
Where Bastian Balthazar Bux
Was bullied, chased, and tossed in the waste—
So he buried his nose in books!
The shop-keep was critical, downright cynical;
"You're not prepared for such danger!”
No common crook; the Boy borrowed his book,
Leaving a note for the stranger.
So make the claim to see your name
Penned on the pages of glory,
And soon you’ll find you’ll be lost in the lines
Of the NeverEnding Story!
