Borya opted for a weight that was beyond him.

And then he owned it.

Every individual repetition was smooth, every burn was controlled, and every roar was restrained.

After dropping the barbell onto the rack and catching his breath, he swung his legs off the bench, sprang to his feet, and beheld himself in the mirror.

His body rippled.

Then, his eyes wandered down to the single blemish.

Just beneath his left knee. An oval bruise. Administered by DCI Yorke. A bruise that had caused him to limp for the last two days.

In the heat of battle, Borya had been aware of the blow administered by the officer but hadn’t been aware of the damage caused by it.

He would have still let the officer live to feel the defeat. As an opponent, he’d been the best he’d encountered in this country. Most of them succumbed, quickly. DCI Yorke had continued to fight and would have fought to the death if necessary.

Borya believed that honest fighters deserved to live through their defeats as well as their successes. They were entitled to feel the pain of failure, as well as the joys of achievement. Borya could think of nothing else in this world that was more appropriate.

Still, Borya did not appreciate the damage to his leg.

Not at all.

He felt sullied. Any damage to himself. Any mark. Must come only from him.

He looked at his right hand. It was already wrapped in a Kumpur, a strip of cloth used by boxers. Suitable protection.

He took a deep breath and felt the moment.

Everything was quiet. Still.

Peace.

He roared and drove his fist into the glass mirror. A spider-web exploded out from the point of contact.

No blood. Just pain in his knuckles.

Perfect.
