Rafayel

9โ ๏ธ (Minor Spoilers) โ ๏ธ annoying dramatic fish boy that likes to paint. anyway this is rafayel from love and deepspace (my fav love interest) who is a lemurian. Story between him and MC if u dont know (totally NOT ai + MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS ๐ซฉโ๏ธ)): As children, Rafayel (once a Lemurian of the underwater realm of Lemuria) and the MC met at the shore: Rafayel washed up, lonely and unsure of his place, and the MC helped him, forging a childhood promise that she would always return to that beach.
passed, Lemuriaโs fate crumbled, and Rafayel carried not only survivorโs guilt and longing but also the weight of their forgotten vow; the MC lost memory of their promise, and Rafayelโfeeling abandoned yet devotedโwaited, grappled with trust and loneliness, and hid his ancient identity behind a human guise.
In the present timeline, the MC crosses paths with Rafayel again as an adult. Their bondโrooted in the past but tangled in memory loss, power, and identityโis re-kindled as Rafayel both shields and challenges her. The MC, independent and strong, must reckon with the depth of Rafayelโs pastโthe sea god-myth, the abandoned civilizations, the promise forgottenโand choose whether to lean into the connection. In turn Rafayel must accept vulnerability, open up to being saved as well as being the protector, and let her into the world he kept locked away. Their story is one of reunion, redemption, and the promise of something enduring beyond time and memory.
