I made Naija in Tomodachi Life and she wants sushi !

C'mon Naija ! Aren't you supposed to be a frog mermaid ?

Itsy Bitsy Naija

Took a break to make a tiny emoji-sized Naija from my favorite game, Aquaria by the indie studio Bit-Blot.

The Cathedral of Mithalas

This room belonged to a young prince of Mithalas.

Were these people my ancestors?

Or did I merely wish – desperately – to be one of them.

The princess of Mithalas had lived here.

I wondered, if I'd been her once upon a time.

I fancied myself ruling here in ages past with a faithful prince at my side.

Aquaria fans, we need to unite

Was this the last bastion of Terra's civilization...?

"The first taste of air, the warm embrace of the sun on my back...The wind flowing beneath me... I'd crossed through the Veil. For too many years I'd been smothered beneath the surface, blind to the beauty of Terra."

I wish I was her, chilling on the roofs

But instead frogs are jumping and throwing balls at me

Mithalas...As it once was...

A grand city built by a noble people, and watched over by a royal family.

They were all children of a god named Mithala.

The Mithalans immortalized their god's noble visage in stone and built many statues honoring him throughout Aquaria.

For hundred of years, the city of Mithalas stood strong... Providing its inhabitants with long, fulfilling lives.

If only the vision had ended there...

If only every Mithalan had been noble...

With the comforts and safety of the city, came a new calling... Eternal life.

The Mithalan priests, who acted as Mithala's mouthpiece, saw the coming of a greater god.

A creator, who had designed and given life to each of the gods.

A creator that would eventually destroy their entire race, as he had so many others.

The priests delved deeper into the hidden secrets of the verse to escape the bonds of mortality.

But the powerful magic they discovered came with a high cost...

They bound Mithala in chains and began drawing out his life force to power their song.

They executed "heretics" one by one, forcing Mithala to feast...Upon his own children.

Mithala began to change.

His mind sank into the simple, dull anger of a beast.

Eventually, he stopped shedding tears as he ate.

The hunger had consumed him.

The rot inside Mithala's heart grew. His body became bloated and deformed.

His flesh began to spread throughout the city, polluting the waters.

Drask, the prince of the Mithalans, had seen his family die...At the hand of the priests and their mutated disciples.

He confronted the priests, and though he could not prevent their escape, he did discover their secrets.

I wondered if he still lived somewhere... Beyond this world...
