The delegates are shocked when the Empress's physician, a named Chiron, informs them that the Empress is dying, and has summoned a boy warrior named Atreyu, to find a cure. To Atreyu, the Empress gives AURYN: a powerful that protects him from all harm. At the advice of the giant Morla the Ancient One, Atreyu sets off in search of an invisible, Uyulala, who may know the Empress's cure. In reaching her, he is aided by a luckdragon named Falkor, whom he rescues from the monster 'Ygramul the Many'.
By Uyulala, he is told that the only thing to save the Empress is a new name given to her by a human child, beyond Fantastica's borders. As Falkor and Atreyu search for the borders of Fantastica, in a confrontation with wind giants Atreyu is flung from Falkor's back, loses AURYN in the, and lands, injured, in ruins of Spook City, a home to various monsters and wicked creatures. There, Atreyu finds the Gmork, chained and near death, who tells him that all the residents of the city have leapt voluntarily into the Nothing, to become lies and in the human world, thanks to the irresistible pull of the destructive phenomenon.
The werewolf reveals as well that he is a servant of the Nothing who wishes to prevent the Empress's chosen hero from saving her; when the princess of the city discovered Gmork's against the Empress, she imprisoned him and left him to starve to death. When Atreyu announces that he is the hero Gmork has sought, the werewolf laughs and succumbs to death.
However, upon being approached, Gmork's body instinctively seizes Atreyu's in his. Meanwhile, Falkor retrieves AURYN from the sea and arrives in time to save Atreyu from the rapid approach of the Nothing.
Falkor and Atreyu go to the Childlike Empress, who assures them that they have brought her rescuer to her; Bastian suspects that the Empress means him, but cannot bring himself to believe it. When Bastian refuses to speak the new name, to prompt him into fulfilling his role as savior, the Empress herself locates the Old Man of Wandering Mountain, who possesses a book also entitled The Neverending Story, which the Empress demands he read aloud.

As he begins, Bastian is amazed to find the book he is reading is repeating itself, beginning once again whenever the Empress reaches the Old Man—only this time, the story includes Bastian's meeting with Coreander, his theft of the book, and all his actions in the attic. Realizing that the story will repeat itself forever without his intervention, Bastian names the Empress 'Moon Child', and appears with her in Fantastica, where he restores its existence through his own imagination. The Empress has also given him AURYN, on which he finds the inscription 'DO WHAT YOU WISH' on its back. For each wish, Bastian loses a memory of his life as a human, and some of his ability to leave Fantastica.
