It only took about another 10-15 minutes for the brothers to reach the end of the trail. The tracks' end wouldn't appear to be much of anything to most people, as the end was just a small clearing with a large stone covered with a thick brush in the back. If anything, the most interesting part of the place would be the overabundance of paw prints laden on the soft soil.
However, Martin and Chris were not most people and they had a hunch that there was more to this clearing than meets the eye. With their creature power suits and wolf discs prepared, they began investigating this tiny area for any signs of something more. Luckily, that did not take long to accomplish…
"Psst! Hey, Martin! I think I found something!" Chris whisper-yelled to his older brother, who quickly scurried over with a gleam in his eye.
"What'd you find? What'd you find?!" Martin's excitement was reminiscent of a young kid discovering something for the first time. Chris made a shushing gesture as he led him over to the brush-covered rock.
"Check this out," Without further ado, the younger brother pushed aside the scraggly brush to reveal that the rock wasn't just a rock, it was a cave! And at the entrance of the cave, the wolf tracks were more prominent than ever before.
"Woah…You thinking what I'm thinking, bro?" Martin gave out a mischevious smile, which Chris returned in full.
"Wolf adventure?"
"More like a wolf ad-den-ture, am I right?"
"Martin, really?"
"Hey, I think I did good on that one! You were smiling, don't try to hide it!"
"Okay, you got me. Let's just get a light on and look through here," Chris then pulled out his creature pod and pressed a little button until a bright beam of light shot from the back. Martin quickly copied his brother and together they began to venture further into this seemingly innocuous cave.
Back at the clearing, the raven-haired girl was once again one step behind the Kratt brothers. She's managed to remain unseen so far, but now she wasn't so sure if she could stay hidden for much longer. Unlike the brotherly duo, this girl knew fully-well what was in that cave. At least, the slowly shimmering and distorting surroundings tipped her off that something awful lied in the dark bowels of that hole.
"…They're walking straight towards the witch. I've got to destroy that thing, fast."
Then, with a bright purple flash, the young girl's clothes turned from a casual outfit to a bizarre and strangely serious black-white-and-purple getup, and she began quietly following the brothers into the cave.
