G'mork
If you come any closer, I will rip you to shreds.
Atreyu
Who are you?
G'mork
I am G'mork. And you, whoever you are, can have the honor of being my last victim.
Atreyu
I will not die easily. I am a warrior!
G'mork
Ha! Brave warrior, then fight the Nothing.
Atreyu
But I can't! I can't get beyond the boundaries of Fantasia!
[G'mork laughs and Atreyu gets a little angry]
Atreyu
What's so funny about that?
G'mork
Fantasia has no boundaries.
[laughs]
Atreyu
That's not true! You're lying.
G'mork
Foolish boy. Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefore, it has no boundaries.
Atreyu
But why is Fantasia dying, then?
G'mork
Because people have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the Nothing grows stronger.
Atreyu
What is the Nothing?
G'mork
It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.
Atreyu
But why?
G'mork
Because people who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control... has the power!
Atreyu
Who are you, really?
G'mork
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 Swamps of Sadness. His name... was Atreyu.
Atreyu
[the ground shakes again and Atreyu is knocked down. He grabs a knife shaped piece of broken stone and stands up, ready to fight]
If we're about to die anyway, I'd rather die fighting! Come for me, G'mork! *I* am Atreyu!
