The pin was absolute.
Her body did not refuse the order to move. It received no order at all. The order arrived at the threshold and stopped there, the way a hand stopped at glass. Her wing did not lift. Her tail did not move. The breath in her lungs moved because the body still breathed — the smaller systems running on their own — but the part of her that decided things was simply not available to her.
She had been mid-stride toward Reiko when the order landed. Then the weight of the order had taken her down. Belly to grass, head turned to find Jayde, golden eyes locked on Jayde's face — that was where the absolute authority had set her, and that was where she would stay until she was released.
Burning hells.
