The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked
I cried to dream again.

“That very night in Max’s room a forest grew
and grew – and grew and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around and an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max
and he sailed off through night and day" - Sendak

Funny how Tirek betrayed him in the end too, making Sendak the first he's ever betrayed. He was captured by Vorak and his kingdom and sent to the mines for his crimes. It is unknown what happened to him afterward.
