Gyrfalcon's Keep don't panic

As it turned out, Finn had not even needed to warn Atreyu of the dangers of staring at the sun as, even if the boy had wanted to, he found he could not bear to look at it longer than a few seconds. The burning ring around the void of darkness in the sky seemed to penetrate and burn his eyes, causing the juvenile to squint and shake his head, turning away almost involuntarily. Thankfully, he quickly adjusted to the darkness that now blanketed the area they were standing in, looking to Finn again as he spoke.

Not finding any comfort in his answer, Atreyu frowned and resisted looking up at the sky again, instead staring out over the barely visible ocean. "Maybe it's the end of the world," he said with a mock forlorn tone, a cheeky grin spreading across his face. "You'll never be able to compliment a pretty girl again."
