Failure message

You sense a sort of disdain from the brown female sparrow that is surprising for so humble a creature, as though it operates in a world that is civilized, adult, dangerous, and far below your comprehension.

Imagined Bond

You imagine what it would be like to have a deep bond with the brown female sparrow, and you feel a distinct echo from within it.

You experience feelings of vibrance, community, versality, belonging, wanderlust, and sensuality.

You experience visions of a city, a dagger, and a golden path.

You experience astral visions of flows of order energy.
