Reylan Playlist: Levels 2 - 5

Curated and Written by: Mara Jaena
Zero
It's strange growing up in Capran as the eldest daughter of Rhaín Dantes and Kysara "Xalia" Arnaís-- always expected to do something and taking like a fish to water in many things but with no drive to pursue anything greater. Despite doing everything-- she felt like an outcast in her family. Nothing called to her except leaving to forge her own path in bettering the world.  
Somewhere I Belong
The other side of Reylan's feeling of loneliness. She just wants to find a place of belonging. The world is a big, strange, and terrifying place-- certainly she could find her place.  
Celestial Temple
Darcanis. Majestic. Otherworldly... literally.
A voice is calling--that's what it feels like.  
Mirror, Mirror
It's a different kind of loneliness the first year but Reylan knows the feeling. She withdraws into the library more and more.  
Kingdom Dance
It was the library that brought her to cross paths with Nyx and then eventually Kyrhen. The three of them formed an inseparable bond and Darcanis- while feeling like the place she belonged to- finally was brighter and Reylan finally felt at home.  
Natural
She was taught about life and light, death and the soul. She learned what was taught and it all came to her naturally.  
Black Sky
She finds that she learns quite well away from the classical routes and that there are things worth delving into that might be of the school that her alignment is treated with prejudice over.  
Rise
Her Trial is over and she has been Chosen. It's a fuck you to the other initiates besides Selene- her only friend amongst their class.  
River Flows In You
"Adapt like the water." she said, "Balance is everything... and should be in everything you do... just try. Don't ever forget, Reylan."
She remembers Ellana give one last smile- something just as rare as what she spoke of next, "Perhaps I will one day see you in the fountain?"
And then something strange happened- the previous Chosen hugged her farewell.  
Face My Fears
When she left home, Reylan was nervous and there was only a "small" scare that she'd never see where she wanted to end up, but now, leaving Darcanis- she never thought she would be leaving to face Destiny alone- well, mostly alone. There's fear now but she feels ready to handle it.  
See What I've Become
There's magic in her veins now- there's partly no recognizing her from a year ago save for her looks. She has become someone else- herself.  
Awaken
Traveling along and with the rifts she's encountered, she's beginning to understand why the Elders were all worried that there were TWO Chosen this time when no one has been Chosen in decades.  
Glitter and Gold
She's just meeting these new faces and they all find themselves working together as allies... but perhaps, there's a friendship there!  
I Won't Say I'm In Love
No chance. No way. She's made a mistake before and there's no way in Valyrhn's light that she's gonna- Nyx, NO! He's not a friend!  
Aeon
Reylan and Solanos... a theme.  
To Be Human
A lesson from Valyrhn that Reylan is learning. If anything, this is Reylan's theme.  
Heroes
The group. This is how she sees them and their cause-- at least, what they could be if they head down this path.

Favorite Song

There's a lot to pick from in this playlist and these songs are specifically curated favorites that I feel fit moments in her story nicely. From Barns Courtney's "Glitter and Gold" to the "Kingdom Dance" from Tangled, these are all musical snapshots that I love and I feel embody the parts of the story I want to reveal at the moment. But... if I had to choose a "favorite", it would have to be Utada Hikaru, Skrillex's "Face My Fears".  
Why?
Because this song happens at the end of a time in Reylan's life and the beginning of a new one. So many things happened before this and well, so many things will happen after and all through it, she knows what she needs to do.
