Dracula crossed the third threshold. Mist swirled.
From the darkness emerged a giant moth, wings glowing with runes. ๐
“Count,” it whispered, “you have tasted nectar, but truth is bitterer still.”
Its antennae brushed his forehead.
Suddenly, he felt smallโlike a larva under the gaze of something ancient. ๐
“You seek the Insectum Codex,” the moth said.
“Then answer this: Which insect sees the ultraviolet truth, but hides from its own reflection?”
Dracula bowed.
“Only the butterfly sees beauty and doom in one wing,” he replied.
The moth nodded.
“Then step forth, but know thisโyour wings, too, will burn in moonlight.” ๐๐ฅ
