The man with the sniper rifle was gone, his body no doubt shredded and scattered into the night. The last man alive from their enemies was still holding onto his Kalashnikov, but he showed no signs of using it. Throughout the east the children are taught about Baba Yaga. 

In Serbia they called her Baba Korizma, In Croatia mothers used Baba Roga as a threat to make unruly children behave. The Romanian mothers frightened their badly behaved children with stories of Baba Pehtra. Of course once the children grew up they became too sensible to believe such nonsense. 

The man in front of Baba Yaga was Russian and now he believed, he was once again a frightened child wanting his mother to save him from the wicked old woman of the woods. Baba Yaga showed no mercy, she shredded his flesh and turned his bones to dust, before sending what was left of him far into the woods.

Baba Yaga wasn't finished, it was if her ragewas still growing. The house went, that too was turned into fragments. Brick,tile, wood, carpets, furniture and the bodies of the dead, all pulverised andsent off by the wind to cover the woods for miles.
