The next morning.
After waking up, Russell burst into laughter for no reason and connected with Polly through their minds. "We did something big last night, hahahahaha!"
"It really was interesting." Polly had slept even less than Russell and had woken up early. "We actually stole a bite of Snow Giant Da. Just thinking about it is fun. It helped Snowy grow, and it counted as getting a little revenge too."
"That's nowhere near revenge. Only when we eat the entire Snow Giant Da will it count as real revenge!"

But when Snow Giant Da crushed him, he had truly felt the terror of death.
"Yes." Polly replied, "But it probably won't be so easy to eat Snow Giant Da again next time."
"It's fine. Sooner or later, Snow Giant Da wants to hunt the Shadowflame Dragon, so it had better be prepared for us to steal bites from it!" Russell said comfortably. "I'm even a little impatient for Snow Giant Da to invade the border already."
