everywhere scorching walls and blowing out the remaining lights in the bar. At first, it appeared as she was electrocuting Anastasiya, which made no sense to her. Nadiya did not need to be a rocket scientist to know that Anastasiya was immune to the fatality of electrocution. Looking closer, she realized the woman was actually drawing energy from out of Anastasiya. Her eyes flickered becoming somewhat normal, while the woman’s eyes became an intense burning blue.  
      Anastasiya drained of almost all of her power went limp. The woman lowered herself back to the floor releasing her where she collapsed into a heap.  
    “ What… what did you do… to me?” Anastasiya wheezed.  
    “ Think that would be obvious,” informed the woman. “I drained you of your power. Electricity being one of the main power sources that feeds me allows me to do that. I could have taken it all, in which case you would be a lifeless burnt out husk right now. For now, I just took enough so that you’d be incapable of conjuring up a spark. Unless you find a massive generator, it’s going to take you awhile to get back to full power. How does it feel to be just a sheep?”  
    Anastasiya mustered enough strength to roll to her side and slowly curl into a ball.  
    “ Yeah, Van Dam you ain’t,” said the woman dismissively.  
    She returned back over to Kostyantyn who remained kneeling on the floor.  
    He stopped gasping and puking up blood, apparently healed from the earth cracking gut check that he received.  The big man, as instructed by the goddess who brought him to his knees, moved not an inch. She now stood over him contemplating his fate.  
    “ On your feet,” she ordered.  
    Kostyantyn slowly rose clutching his gut towering over her. It was clear he still felt the effects of the thunderous blow.  
    “ Do you have a sister?” she plainly asked.  
    Kostyantyn shook his head no.
    “ Do you have a mother?”  
    Kostyantyn nodded yes.
    The next thing to follow was a vicious slap across the face that sounded like a thunderclap. His eyes widened with rage as his nostrils flared. His chest expanded rapidly as if preparing for round two. He, however, did not budge an inch as the woman stuck a finger in his face.  
    “ Shame on you,” she scolded him, “how dare you use the gift you were given for this. Using it to hurt and subjugate others; squandering it to line the pockets of that animal cowering behind the bar. I should knock that stupid looking head clean off your shoulders. Guess why I haven’t done it yet?”  
    He did not answer her as he continued to stare her down; she did not wait for him to ask as she stepped closer.  
    “ Because my parents taught me to never look down at a man unless you’re picking him up,” she delivered her message with a motherly tone.  
    Her words proved to be more powerful than her fists as Kostyantyn hunched his shoulders and bowed his head. Nadiya was dumbfounded to witness a man, who was once Yuri’s savage right hand of fear and intimidation, swat away tears of shame and regret from his eyes.  
    “ Raise your head,” she ordered him as if talking to her own son.  
    Kostyantyn obeyed, staring into her blazing blue eyes again.  
    “ I’m going to give you a chance to straighten out your life,” she pointed at him again. “You get only one chance to clean up your act. If I ever catch you in a place like this, or doing anything remotely similar to something like this, and I mean running drugs, guns, hit man for the Mafia, anything illegal. You will know me as your mother on that day. I will take you out of this world, and no amount of begging or pleading will stop me. Do we understand each other?”  
    “ Yes,” Kostyantyn nodded.  
    Nadiya was floored again as this was the first time she had ever heard the big man speak.  
    “ Get out of here,” she gave her final order.  
    An instructed Kostyantyn left through the obliterated entrance of the brothel not giving a
