Koi

Made is 3 days for SpeedJam #5 on the theme "ASCEND".

According to Chinese legend, a koi carp swimming upstream to the highest point of the waterfall would have its determination rewarded by the gods, transforming it into a dragon. Our dear fish has boundless courage and wishes to try its luck. "I could leap over mountains!" it says in fish language. And so, it sets off on an adventure, ready to overcome any obstacle that stands in its way.
