Snowguard's Spiritual Journey

Snowguard is in the village at Nunavut (the cold arctic territory of Northern Canada) where she returns home to not only visit her family and friends, she also came to investigate the mysterious things happening in the village. Snowguard wakes up to find the Giant is seemingly terrorizing the village so she changes into different forms to stop the Giant. After subduing the Giant, Snowguard learns that the Giant is lonely and he's trying to find someone to play with him since his friends and the spirits are starting to disappear as the villagers forget their cultural beliefs as years went by. Five hours later, Snowguard returns to the village where she goes into the school and finds the disappeared young Inuk villagers. Snowguard is attacked by the spirits for interfering their plans. Snowguard tries to dodge the spirits but she is eventually captured by the Spirits who try to alter her memories. It turns out that the Spirits were protectors of the Inuk people who are afraid of their culture's disappearance because the Inuk children lose interest in the traditions and Inuit mythology. Snowguard resolves the issue by sharing the remaining part of her cultural memory to the Spirits. Thus, she returns to the physical world where the memories of the Inuk villagers are restored and Snowguard shares the stories to the young generation.
