Crows by the thousand blacken the sights of Cluj through car-thronged streets of high-rises, dropping their bombs of white on the pavement. Islands of luck.
The hooded crow is the coolest of symbols for a city of gray and dust. Proud on the king's coat of arms, its brother holds the golden ring of power, stolen on a hunt. Meanwhile, Matthias Rex sits over the square and rues on what happened, a white patch on his head.
This birdy is an innocent brother of theirs, soft and spotless.
So here's the pattern:
