"Enough to drive a caravan off the road and kill a defenceless man, though," Ruby finished for me. "That's why the Grimm never attacked Eldon. That's why they didn't attack us. They knew a bunch of amateur hunters wouldn't be enough to kill two Heroes."

That was my guess as well. I crossed my arms and nodded.
