This Koi Dreams of Transcendence

For thousands of years, a great mountain stood tall — the Heavenpiercing Mountain — and from its peak flowed the Celestial Waterfall. Beneath its grand stature flowed the Azure River, whose inhabitants whispered of a legend: at the top of the waterfall lies the Gate of Transcendence, where koi who dare to swim against the current can ascend into dragons. Among the river’s countless fish, a small koi hears the voice of the world, calling it toward a destiny that many can only dream of. It dreams of conquering the raging waves and currents, of proving its strength against a challenge that none have ever overcome — to ascend and surpass the heavens themselves. The Celestial Waterfall calls to it, a challenge and a fate intertwined. And in the depths of the Azure River, a single koi dares to dream of transcendence, seeking to rise from a mere lowly riverborn fish to a grand and mighty azure dragon. (not a translation)
