Extras

I had so much fun writing this whole story and I hoped you enjoyed reading it. While I was writing, I made a whole soundtrack that is best enjoyed with the reading of this story.

Demons – Imagine Dragons – This one I felt was really the theme for the whole story.

Coming Undone – Korn – I always thought of Pagan and Teresa with this song. It first was going to be more of a story song, but I decided to let the swords introduce the past lives. Before, I was going to have it be when someone spoke their old name, they would remember. (Yeah, I like what I did better. It makes more sense.)

Wanted Dead or Alive – Bon Jovi – This one. Need I explain? This is Starrk's song in this and the previous life. It is his story. (I don't know what that story is, but… this song explains it.)

White Walls – Macklemore and Ryan Lewis – Azura has to have a big black Caddie and she and Vicente really paint the town, or so this song says. I know for sure that they did and Azura loves her car.

I Walk the Line – Johnny Cash – This one made me think of Coeur and Pagan as they walk the line between the two lives. (If you have skipped to the end of this story to see how it ends, I am not spoiling anything.)

A Boy Named Sue – Johnny Cash – Teresa explained. Need I say more? Besides, I can see this totally happening.

Rolling in the Deep – Adele – This song explains Nnoitra and Szayel too well and it makes me cry!

The World Has Its Shine (But I Would Drop It On A Dime) - Cobra Starship - This one felt like a song about past lives and always has in my mind.

We're So Starving - Panic! At the Disco - Hey, the Espada are apologising for being gone so long, but hey, they're back!

That Green Gentlemen (Things Have Changed) - Panic! At the Disco.

She's A Genius - Jet - Azura's song hands down. This one really fits her.

It Was All A Lie - Evanescence - I think this summed up the whole story with Aizen.

Teenagers – My Chemical Romance – Hey, they are teens after all. This song is what I feel that the parents felt.

You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison - My Chemical Romance - Need I say more... Hahahaha!

The Sharpest Lives – My Chemical Romance – This one, I don't know exactly how it fits, but I really like it a lot. I think this one sets the tone for the whole story as well in a way.

The story itself was inspired by the fact, I had never read a good reincarnation story that was serious. A lot of them were parodies or serious, but missed the mark. And as I was developing the story that is now finished, many things changed.

1. Coeur was going to be a son of a garbage man. (Yep. Laugh all you want, but it was the first plan.) And Teresa was going to be a librarian or someone who worked there. I just found the idea of him trying to be nice to people so funny!

2. Azura and Vicente were always going to be related. (Because I had no one left to place in certain roles. To be honest, I was a bit worried about them, given their past. But… It worked better than I had thought.

3. They were also going to be the next two people to get swords after Gabriel. But then I remembered a few details, leading to the events of the story. Making the second who it is.

4. Even though not shown in the story, Azura has a fear of flying. Heh.

And lastly, I want to thank TsarinaTorment, Timothy27, SpottedMask77 and DAIrin-Chan for helping, inspiring and cheering me on through this long story. I hope you all enjoyed!

Cheers my dear readers,
