Gyrfalcon's Keep don't panic

Of course, Atreyu had only been joking about his end-of-the-world comment, he didn't truly believe the sun's odd disappearance meant the world they knew would cease to be. At least, he hoped not. He had only just begun exploring these new lands, he loathed to think that the chance of adventure was to be ripped from his grasp this early. At his words, Finn had turned to him in response with an equally matched grin. Horrible and painful for him, perhaps. Atreyu still could not see the use in complimenting girls but accepted it for the time being. Whatever, adults were weird.

The darkness that had been thrown over the area like a blanket almost made Atreyu want to head into a rocky cove somewhere and sleep - that or hunt, he was not sure. It was an odd experience. Words escaping him, the boy simply glanced once back at his companion before peering at the sky again, waiting with bated breath, hoping the sun would return.
