Sparrows are generally thought of as harbingers of bad luck or good luck. Omen bringers and soul catchers. A sparrow enters Kenneth's dream. It flies inside his house and alights upon the grand piano near the fireplace. He reaches out and catches it in his hands. It doesn't try to fly away but stays still and mute. It's so small; his fingers hold it in place while his other hand brushes its feathers. He looks in its eyes and sees Ian, his servant-assassin, sometimes his lapdog.
He looks around and sees a gilded cage. He places the sparrow inside and it starts to chirp for its mate. The door is shut and the lock clicks in place. Kenneth smirks. He knows its only a matter of time until Sara comes to him. He'll use Ian to get the Wielder and when she is in the palm of his hand, he'll hold fast and make her sing for him. Use her and make her dance to his will.
All it takes is Ian. Ian to draw her in the gilded cage.
