Through Nation's Eyes (Under Repairs)

North American Trial

"So, you too?" Roanoke asked.

"Not you too!" Bidziil cried.

"Well, we came here for another reason. We need you to come up north with us to help deal with a problem going on in a village near Gitchigumi." Vinland explained.

"Really? What's going on up there?" Roanoke asked.

"Not completely sure, Kechewaishke just asked us to deal with it because there's no one else that can help them out."

Time sped up as the group made their way to the village just a little while away from Lake Superior.

They seemed to have dealt with whatever problem was going on at the village and were just about to leave.

The village was suddenly attacked by a small group of giant, somewhat humanoid looking creatures, looking like emaciated corpses. They had thin, ash colored skin. It looked like their bones would break out of the skin at any moment. But their most noticeable feature were their glowing, white eyes. They were a lot stronger and faster than anyone else in the village. They began grabbing and running off with villagers.

"W-What the fuck are those?!" Romano cries.

"Those are called 'Wendigo', malevolent spirits from Algonquin folklore. They're typically connected with things like greed, gluttony, famine, and cannibalism." South Ojibwe explains, hesitating on their name.

"They're fucking terrifying. It was taking the villagers to kill and eat them." America continues.

"This is another thing from Native cultures that your not supposed to say their name out loud. One way of talking about them without saying their actual name is Wendiboi, for one example you'll hear."

The rest of the countries looked horrified as they looked back at the memory.

"Asema! Take them and get out of here! Aedynn and I will take care of these!" Vinland shouted.

"Halldís! Aedynn! No! Please don't go!" The children cried.

"Asema, now! We don't have enough time!" Roanoke shouted.

"Promise us you'll make it back alive!" Kanata shouted.

"We promise!" Vinland and Roanoke called.

Asema didn't wait as he picked up the young countries and ran away as fast as possible.

"Roanoke, c'mon! We need to deal with these!" Vinland shouted.

The two of them grabbed their bows and arrows and go to fight off the creatures.

It was going relatively well at first, until one managed to sneak up on them and grab Roanoke.

Roanoke let out a blood curdling scream, quickly getting Vinland's attention.

"Aedynn!" Vinland cried, running after them.

"Halldís, help!" Roanoke cried.

The creature managed to escape from Vinland's range of sight. She cautiously looked around the forest.

"Where did they go?" Vinland asked herself, worried.

She was quickly alerted by a loud cry of pain from Roanoke.

She ran to where the cry came from. She became extremely worried when she didn't hear Roanoke.

She found Roanoke on the ground in front of the wendigo. The creature was ripping him apart and clearly eating him. His torso was ripped open and extremely bloody. There were various entrails lying on the ground next to him, either partially eaten, or untouched. His ribs were also a bit visible. His blood was seeping into the ground and he was clearly beginning to fade away.
