If I See The Dew In The Morning (Discernment's Lulluby)
Performed by Discernment of Solviera
Written as a hymn in the world of Divina, this song is widely known all over the four kingdoms. It was written in anticipation of the Prince's return, eager expectation to his presence on the earth. The premise the writer proclaims is the evidence of creation itself is proof that the prophecies will one day be fulfilled, declaring, "If I see the dew in the morning, I'll know the Prince is coming."
As Lyla struggles in a violent panic, Discernment sings this hymn to her outside her window as she bathes, washing her voice over Lyla's soul. This eases her spirit enough to gain the strength to persevere through her anxiety.
If I See The Dew In The Morning (Piano Only)
Performed by Theodore Belvedere
Though Discernment has a strength in her voice, Theo has a strength in his piano. As he rises in popularity in Vespera, he could never forsake his roots of Endare, hearing his father play this same hymn as a young boy. Even now as an adult, he can't help but play this very song he has his fondest memories with.
You Seem Worn Out
Performed by Discernment of Solviera
Discernment's heart nearly breaks in two watching Lyla's mother rip into her with the sharpest daggers for words. Even when Lyla thinks she's just overcome an obstacle, another one soon rises. The dragon, filled with compassion for her rider, writes a sweet sonnet that pleads that Lyla finds rest beneath her wings, and casts the weight of her past onto Discernment's back.
I'll Let You
Performed by Eros Vortigern
The Commander has spent his life torn between two forces, and his journey with Lyla is no exception. As his heart grows fond of her love, his past quietly reminds him of the truth of who he is. This song of a soldier reflects his ardent dedication to his lady, yet his desperate cry to remain in the shadows of her affection.
Where You've Been
Performed by Lyla Belvedere
After a disappointing evening on a sandstone roof, Lyla is left in turmoil from the retreat of the commander's kiss. This song reflects her questioning of his love for her, which he had just confessed, and proclaiming that she will mend what she feels she has left broken.
