Ep 5. To Save Falkor

Its a journey he soon regrets when he realizes he has passed his sickness onto his friend, Falkor the Luck Dragon; a creature who never gets sick. Ruza, the wise Night Hob tells Bastian the only possible cure is the nectar from the Tarkiss Flower. But the flower only grows way up in the Dead Mountains, a place that holds horrific tales of fear for all Fantasians. Bastian is determined to help his friend, regardless of the consequences. He takes Night Hobs sleepy bat Thessle and flies up to the Mountains. He soon finds the flower and the Mountains only know resident; Ygramul, a deadly creature who takes great pleasure in reminding Bastian that no one ever returns from Dear Mountains!
