"Heh... You really are a peaceful Satyr, huh?" The black cat meowed.

"What can I say, Master. I am a lover of life, not a hater." Sparrow smiled. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Evelynn is really going to like this one." Selina said.

"He can summon a lute. Wanna see?" The black cat meowed.

"Of course! Show us what you can play, Sparrow."

"As you wish, lady and gentleman."

Sparrow flicked his wrist and a lute immediately appeared in his hand. It was a wooden lute with beautiful carvings and paintings upon. A lute of forest and nature.

"Which song does the audience want? Sad? Triumphant? Or dread?" Sparrow bowed like a show man then said.

"Try dread." The black cat meowed.

"Of course, Master."

Sparrow’s fingers rested gently on the strings. Then he played. The sound of the lute spread far and wide. Selina wasn’t a music person but even she could hear the horror laying beneath the tone.

In her head, a lonely gray house appeared. It was probably an orphanage. There were many souls inside that orphanage that no one would want to see.

It wasn’t an illusion, but simply an image that she imagined while listening to the tune.

Selina clapped her hands, "Exquisite, Sparrow!"

"Thank you! Thank you! Your applause is what I live for."

"Where do you want to set your domain at, Sparrow?" The black cat meowed.

Sparrow rubbed his chin and looked around.

"This park is actually a very good place, Master. May I?"

"You may. But remember. This is a very popular location in this city. So try to keep your presence a secret."

"What if there is a damsel that needs my help, Master?"

The black cat grinned widely. He was actually kind of amused by Sparrow.

"If it is necessary, you can use your power."

"As you wish, Master." Sparrow bowed again.

The Satyr went to the middle of the park and stood there. He found a large dying tree that was reaching its final moment.

Sparrow caressed the tree gently.

"It’s dying. No one is looking after it."

Green vines spread from within Sparrow’s skin and plunged into the tree. His messy brown hair raised up and grew longer. The tips of the hair transformed into tree roots and plunged into the ground.

The dying tree transformed slowly. From the skinny dry branches back to the lush green field that it was supposed.

Underneath, the roots of it spread to the other trees inside the park, adding them into the shared network of Sparrow’s domain. Then the roots of the new trees reached out and added even more trees.

Slowly, the ground beneath the Central Park had become a full interconnected network of tree roots. While above, Chaos spread thin in the air, solidifying the Central Park as Sparrow’s domain.

Mater’s octagram eyes could see the change in Sparrow’s aura. With the domain, he became much more powerful. No less than a Fake Rank-2 Chaos User, the same power as Crow when he wore the Abyssal Helmet.

Sparrow’s weakness was obvious as well. He had no true attacking spells. If he was caught outside of his domain, Sparrow would be the second weakest of the servants, higher than Evelynn. In his domain, however, Sparrow would be a candidate for top spots for sure.

"It is done, Master. I can now hear, see, and sense anything inside this park. Along with that..."

Sparrow clenched his fist tightly. His Chaos Well expanded greatly. His Chaos Well was even bigger than Mater.

"I can also collect Chaos in the air. As long as it is within my domain."

"Woah!" Selina widened her eyes. "Does that mean he don’t need a Shrine?"

The black cat shook his head, "He still needs a Shrine. His domain can collect Chaos but it cannot heal him.

Use your power and make a secret structure beneath the park."

"As you wish, Master." Sparrow bowed.
