Crusaders III: The New Age 1.32

Prologue 4

Nordstrom took a sip from the wine glass. It was a good year from which the grapes were plucked and then crunched to extract the juice. The juice was extracted and then retained in wooden casks. The casks were moved into the basement and stored for a period. The basement was sealed and a vacuum was created.

The result was the fine wine he was drinking then.

“I hoped you like the year.” Nordstrom looked to his other guest seated across him. The man had aged a lot but as the host, Nordstrom ensure the best was offered. His guest was dressed in a plain shirt and matching pants, although his hair was unkempt. The guest was not drinking although the wine glass was placed in front of him.

“Sam Worthins”, Nordstrom spoke up.  “You may not like the wine, but I am sure this new option would.”

Nordstrom motioned to his staff and cage was pushed in. In the cage was a young man in iron restraints. Sam twitched in his limbs but the years of induced sedatives and depressants had slowed his reflexes. It was the boy he found; dirty and nude.

“Boy…” Sam muttered in his voice. The young man in the cage went berserk. He crashed himself against the cage bars but it was useless. He was still the same in his looks and unable to change into any form except his own anger. He was angry at the man who snatched him off his real life and made him an animal.

“I am sorry….so sorry, boy.” Sam muttered his apology. He found the first boy and handed him to the Moors, but the second one; he had failed. He was caught with the boy and they had raised him to the killer he was.
