For a split second, Ty thought she had given the wrong answer to Aunt Osprey's question. However, it quickly became apparent that adding another giant to the mix was not the worst idea, after all. Tytonidae leaned forward as her aunt continued to speak of the nasty, pesky giant who was now racing Hawkeye and the "good" giant to the island where the sun would take a nap. The young girl leaned forward, eager to hear how this would be entwined with the rest of the story. Thankfully, she did not have to wait long before her aunt was telling the next segment of the tale.

The other giant seemed like an icky creature, indeed. Instead of thinking for himself (or herself—Osprey hadn't mentioned whether it was a boy or a girl), he went around stealing ideas and pretending they were his own. How wretched! Tytonidae scrunched up her face at the thought of such a terrible beast. It seemed as though this second, no-good giant had been there since the very beginning (or close to it) and had been plotting to follow them this whole time. Now, the two giants were racing toward the island as fast as they could, and Ty was eager to hear the outcome, whatever it happened to be.

Tytonidae thought that Hawkeye and her giant friend would win, only because she was the protagonist in the story, and it would only make sense for her to be the victor. Most stories that Ty had heard thus far had ended happily, so she had come to expect it. Still, the journey was half the fun, and she soaked it in as her aunt explained that the nasty giant was up to no good (as nasty giants are prone to be). Ty tried to figure out what he might do. Would he try and cut them off? Sick some sea-beast on them? Attempt to drown them?

What he did was, in the young DiSarinno's mind, even worse! He pretended to be drowning, and then used that as some clever scheme to get the good giant and Hawkeye to help him... only to turn on them! What a wretched, terrible creature he was, and Ty grimaced as Osprey spoke of Hawkeye getting lost in the water. How on earth was her mother supposed to survive in the middle of the neverending salty lake? Ty's front toes dug into the ground, hoping that this one would have a happy ending.

Her aunt explained that this story definitely did have a good ending, and Ty pricked her ears forward. How would the heroine escape the depths of the great salt lake? This was going to require some serious thinking, and the younger girl pondered this for a long couple of minutes, trying to come up with something that was worthy of her aunt's story. Ty furrowed her brow, feeling the gears in her brain turning as she tried to figure out a proper escape for Hawkeye. “She found… she found an air fish. It makes air so you can breathe under the water.” It felt like a weak response, but Ty was hopeful that it would allow the tale to continue.
