In #RiverOfCrows, when evil sorcerer and self-proclaimed emperor Gideon Blackthorn sends out the Black Guard, they're usually sent out in particular formations. The number of crows you see in the sky tells you why they're there...

Which, of course, is lots of fun when the kids and I go for walks and there are crows around. :ds_crow: :ds_crow:

"Oh, look! Three crows today, sis. It was nice knowing you..."

"You're being summoned, mom. What'd you do this time?"

"Wait -- is that six or seven of them? Oh great. We're in trouble..."

"If seven crows mean death, then what do fourteen crows and a robin mean?"

😂
