Yorvet barred his teeth. The man was convinced he was about to growl. The Mystics weren't always the most stable in their emotions. "Fine." He said gesturing sharply to his men. "A deal is struck. We keep this scrap of meat away."
"And you get a lunette blade to mold to your preference." The man said with a smile revealing his darkened eye teeth. "A good decision Mystic Yorvet."
The men moved forward, grabbing the boy roughly by the arms, and dragged him to a rotting maquette of what looked to be a palace of sorts. Though it had obviously been altered and strengthened with metal. Resembling more of a dog kennel of a prison than anything else.
The man gave a sketch of a bow. "May the winds be in your favor Mystic." He was going to need them with this particular Lunette Blade.
Maquette - a usually small preliminary model (as of a sculpture or a building)
Added Info - "Maquette" came to English directly from French, first appearing in our language in the late 19th century. The French word, which possesses the same meaning as its English descendant, derived from the Italian noun macchietta, meaning "sketch," and ultimately from Latin macula, meaning "spot." Maquettes are generally intended to serve as rough models of larger designs. Architects make maquettes of their buildings, and sculptors often create maquettes in wax or clay to help them realize the final sculpture. As an aside, you might spot something familiar in the word's Latin ancestor. The term "macula" in English refers to a spot (such as one on the eye) that is different from surrounding tissue; this is where we get the term "macular degeneration."
