When Atreyu lost Artax to the Nothing.

“- 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!”
