"…Eh?"
The rune pulsed.
Chains of glowing, translucent ice exploded outward—
CRACK!!
They coiled across her limbs, wrapping around her wrists, ankles, waist, and even her wings
"Wha—" Lilith gasped, trying to float backward, but the chains snapped her body toward Aestrea like a leash being pulled tight.
They pulled hard enough to drag her slightly off-balance, her wings flapping as she struggled to regain control, but the chains tightened.
Squishhh!
Then, her body jerked slightly as the chains reacted to Aestrea's mana, dragging her feet off the ground for a moment before slamming her softly to her knees in front of him.
"Ahn~!?" Her voice trembled out of her throat, half-gasp, half-moan, as the frost laced over her skin like icy silk, both numbing and burning at the same time.
Her wings twitched violently behind her, trying to resist, but the chains wrapped tighter around them, pinning them behind her back.
