World Underneath · Primordial past through present — Dream Weaver mythology

World Underneath 27 — A Fairy Tale

Rafayel

A Dream Weaver mother tells her reluctant axolotl child the origin story of their kind. Dream Weavers discovered the first emotional thread in primordial oceans, and through the Cambrian explosion and multiple mass extinctions evolved more sensitive abilities while enduring agony weaving planetary nightmares. When humanity arose they encountered the richest emotional tapestries ever woven — love, regret, hope, ambition — but also a new darkness: "a black hole" of void within human consciousness. As human greed and destructive impulses spread, the threads become thorns. An Old Butler explains to sleeping children that Dream Weavers continue weaving not from hope of prevention but as testimony — proof of one's existence, a testament to how life once burned. This is Rafayel-coded mythology (Dream Weavers are an aquatic-origin species bearing permanent scars from ancient catastrophe) but features no Rafayel directly.
