The first dragon's wing caught on a primary strand. The silk didn't break from the weight of the dragons.
The creature's momentum carried it forward, but its wing couldn't follow. The limb was wrenched backward at an angle that no joint was designed to accommodate.
Bone splintered and cartilage tore. The supporting muscles that allowed flight were completely severed.
The dragon's scream erupted across the formation as it realized it was trapped. The creature's consciousness registered the inescapable reality.
It had been ensnared, and movement in any direction would only serve to entangle it further.
The second dragon attempted to veer away.
It banked hard, its wings spreading to maximum extension, its musculature contracting to create the force necessary to change trajectory mid-dive.
But the web was everywhere. The strands crisscrossed in patterns that occupied every possible escape vector.
