A horde of frostlings charge the town of Hopethaw. Princess, Hero and the other characters look worn out, but the Frostings keep coming. They are surrounded by a horde. The pile of Frost King snow starts to reform.
Princess: He's coming back again!
Hero: Seems to get faster every time. Stand firm, we must protect the village!
In the Village, we see the sigils light up. A wave of energy blasts out, sweeping over the buildings, the inhabitants and the defenders harmlessly. Every Frosting who comes into contact with it melts instantly. Even the Frost King’s half formed shape cannot survive the power of the sigil. He explodes, and then the ice chunks melt, leaving behind a pool of water with his crown.
Hero: We did it! The Forces of Frost have been defeated!
Princess: The village, the Scut’el and their farms have been saved. Happy Epic Week everyone!
