Aranaya Xaphina/Xaphinaverse

Aranaya, The Prey (Canon Lore)
In the war-torn world of Druk Yul, where the Dragonborn and an enigmatic enemy fiercely clashed in a relentless battle for supremacy, a tale of courage, loss, and the insatiable pursuit of power unfolds. Amidst the chaos and the unyielding struggle, a young dragoness named Aranaya Xaphina finds herself unexpectedly thrust into a destiny she never anticipated. Born into royalty as the heiress of the revered Xaphina clan, Aranaya had always known that her life would be marked by duty, sacrifice, and profound responsibility.

When the tumultuous vicissitudes of the savage conflict came to pass, however, no amount of mental preparation beforehand could have steeled her for the grievous ordeals through which she would ultimately find herself traversing. As the conflict raged on, tragically claiming the lives of countless dragons, even the revered King and Queen, Aranaya's parents, could not escape their fate. The weight of the crown fell upon the Heiress' shoulders, abruptly thrusting her into the unexpected role of the new Queen of the Dragonborn.

Amidst the ruins of her homeland and the remnants of her shattered dreams, Aranaya's eyes fell upon a peculiar object lying amidst the blood-stained battleground. In the midst of the pandemonium lay a strange tome whose curious binding and arcane symbols seemed incongruous with the surrounding ruin. Its weathered pages beckoned her, hinting at secrets and mysteries yet to be unveiled. Driven by curiosity and a deep yearning for answers, Aranaya reached out to claim the grimoire. When her fingers inadvertently grazed the faded binding, she felt an ancient power suddenly flare to life within her bloodstream. But as she attempted to open its pages, the ancient tome resisted, keeping its enigmatic secrets hidden. Undeterred, Aranaya carried the grimoire with her, feeling a strange connection to the relic despite its mystery. Though ignorant of how fortuitous her happenstance discovery of the arcane tome would prove to be, its cryptic contents would set her on a perilous path that would try her mettle and transport her to a realm beyond the horizons of her fancy.

In a pivotal moment of desperation, as Aranaya found herself overwhelmed by the enemy's forces, she took flight, seeking an escape from the relentless onslaught. Witnessing Aranaya's desperate situation, the Dragon Knight Commander swiftly came to her aid, deflecting the enemy's assault and buying her precious moments to flee. While gliding aloft, her mind was obscured by uncertain thoughts as she drifted deeper into the forest unconsciously. Only when she reached the limits of her endurance did she transform into her humanoid form, seeking refuge amidst the towering trees. Dazed and bewildered, Aranaya sprinted through the unfamiliar forest, her breath ragged and her senses on high alert. As she raced frantically, the ancient spellbook plummeted away, crashing loudly against the hard ground with its escape velocity. To her astonishment, the impact unleashed a powerful surge of ancient magic. This surge caused the grimoire's weathered pages to unfurl, revealing a radiant and shimmering portal that materialized right before her eyes.

Driven by loyalty and a deep sense of responsibility, the Dragon Knight Commander tirelessly searched for Aranaya amidst the remnants of the treacherous battlefield. His unyielding determination led him to a mysterious portal in the surrounding forest, shimmering with otherworldly energy, as he fervently realized that Aranaya might have entered it. Filled with trepidation, yet resolute in his purpose, he bravely ventured into the foreign realm, driven by the unwavering desire to find Aranaya and guide her safely back home.

Unbeknownst to them, the grimoire Aranaya had discovered belonged to the entity responsible for the war ravaging their land. Each page of the ancient book held the power to open portals to different worlds, a potent instrument wielded by their adversary to wreak havoc and conquer new realms. Sensing the loss of the grimoire and fearing its potential in Aranaya's hands, the adversary invoked dark magic, opening a portal to an unknown world in pursuit of the dragoness and the coveted tome.

As Aranaya found herself in the unknown world, she wandered through its unfamiliar landscapes, her eyes filled with wonder and trepidation. Not long into her exploration did she ascertain that this was indeed Earth, a vast realm that bore little resemblance to the world she had known before. While Aranaya ventured deeper into the unknown world, striving to understand its intricacies, fate would eventually reunite her with the Dragon Knight Commander. Bound by a mutual drive and the indissoluble connections they had formed through shared strife, their aspirations now centered on a novel ambition—to rediscover the vanished codex and recover the power imprisoned within its vellum folios. For within those ancient pages lay the potential to unlock the portal back to Druk Yul and restore order to their war-torn homeland. Their determination remained steadfast. Aranaya, intrigued by the vibrant world of anime, discovered a means to blend in and connect with others—introduced by the Dragon Knight Commander to her, a virtual world known as Vtubing. As she immersed herself in this digital realm, Aranaya became a Vtuber, utilizing her newfound platform to share her journey, entertain, and seek clues about the grimoire's whereabouts.

In the shadows, still wielding formidable power, the relentless adversary traversed countless worlds, tirelessly hunting Aranaya. But with an abundance of boundless worlds to search, time became Aranaya's ally, empowering her to persistently pursue the elusive grimoire, inching ever closer with unwavering determination. As the adversary tirelessly hunts, Aranaya fervently embraced the precious gift of time, utilizing every fleeting moment to continue her unwavering and relentless quest for the coveted artifact.

As Aranaya embraced her Vtubing endeavors, captivating audiences and forging connections, her unwavering focus remained fixed on her ultimate goal. With the unexpected world of Vtubing as their ally, Aranaya and her Knight embarked on an epic quest, venturing through the realm in search of the key to their return. With unwavering determination and indomitable courage, they boldly pressed forward, their profound connection forged through shared belief, poised to confront whatever challenges may lie in their path.

Aranaya, The Avenger (Old Canon Lore)
In the world of Druk Yul, a world shrouded in mystery and allure, the past and the present intertwine, weaving a tale of tragedy and vengeance. Long ago, a female knight embarked on a perilous quest to hunt down a dragon, unaware of the profound consequences that awaited her. The dragon, instead of slaying the knight, left her with a legacy—a child, conceived in a moment of unlikely connection. The knight, burdened with the weight of her newfound motherhood, named the child Anaya.

Anaya's childhood was far from idyllic. As a Dragonborn, she faced prejudice and isolation, and those around her viewed her existence as a curse. Raised solely by her mother, their lives were marked by hardship and constant hiding, for the kingdom and its people feared the power and potential danger of the Dragonborn. Their small village, nestled near the kingdom's borders, became a place of constant vigilance, as scouts reported their presence to the king.

Betrayal and fear infiltrated their lives when the king issued a reward for information on the Dragonborn's whereabouts. People turned against them, driven by greed and the promise of riches. In the face of imminent danger, Anaya's mother made the ultimate sacrifice, forcing her beloved daughter to flee for her own survival. In that heart-wrenching moment, Anaya's resolve was forged—to avenge her mother's death and bring justice to the kingdom that had torn their lives apart.

Years flew by, and Anaya flourished as a formidable leader, amassing a powerful empire of Dragonborn. Her mixed bloodline brought forth a new generation of Dragonborn children, carrying on her legacy with vitality and strength. The realms resounded with tales of their formidable presence, as they forged a path marked by their unique heritage. But as the time for retribution arrived, the tides of fortune turned against the Dragonborn. Initially, their forces dominated the battlefield, their fierce Dragonborn warriors striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.

The kingdom's allies, witnessing the might of the Dragonborn, rushed to their aid, desperate to prevent their own demise. The scales of the war tipped, and the now outnumbered Dragonborn found themselves facing overwhelming odds. The conflict that followed claimed a staggering number of lives, and amidst the chaos, it was Anaya, the valiant leader of the Dragonborn, who ultimately met her demise. The humans rejoiced in their victory over the Dragonborn, but the cost paid for their triumph was immeasurable.

Meanwhile, in the present day, Aranaya and her family live in isolation, the last of their kind in Druk Yul. The echoes of the past war resonate in their lives, as they hide from a world that would seek to harm them. Their peaceful existence is shattered when a chance encounter reveals their presence to an outsider. News spreads like wildfire, and the threat of pursuit looms closer. Aware of the impending danger, Aranaya's parents prepare for the worst.

Under the shroud of darkness, a group of people closed in on their humble dwelling, driven by a vengeful determination to wipe out the last remnants of the dragon shifters. Aranaya's parents, understanding the bleakness of their situation, knew that their survival was a distant hope. With heavy hearts, they made the ultimate sacrifice for their beloved daughter. Harnessing the ancient power of a grimoire, they invoked a portal that would transport Aranaya to safety, away from the imminent danger. In an anguishing moment, Aranaya witnessed her parents' valiant stand against their assailants, their unwavering love and bravery guiding her path through the portal as they faced their inevitable fate.

Upon entering the portal, Aranaya found herself transported to Earth, a realm so different from her own. It was there that she encountered Khyrsanth and Araneechan, two remarkable individuals who shattered her perception of humans as sole enemies. They showed her kindness, compassion, and the potential for coexistence.

During her time on Earth, Aranaya dedicated herself to honing her dragon powers, training tirelessly to exact revenge upon those who had taken her parents' lives. Yet, amidst her pursuit of vengeance, her heart yearned for a way to return to Druk Yul, her true home. In this unfamiliar realm, only Khyrsanth and Araneechan held the knowledge of her draconic heritage, providing her solace and guidance in her journey.

With the aid of Khyrsanth's extensive research and modern technology, they succeeded in creating a portal that would enable Aranaya's return to Druk Yul. Little did they know that word of Aranaya's existence had already spread, and nefarious individuals planned to hunt her down. Ambushed by these assailants, Araneechan valiantly shielded Aranaya, sustaining grave injuries in the process. Awakened by the depths of her dragon power, Aranaya unleashed her fury, defeating their attackers and escaping with her fallen companion.

Sadly, Araneechan's injuries proved fatal. As she lay on the precipice of death, she expressed a heartfelt wish—to be a guide for Aranaya, to show her more about the complexities of humanity. In a mysterious turn of events, an ethereal light manifested, intertwining Araneechan's soul with Aranaya's, granting her wish and making Araneechan a part of her being.

The time had come for Aranaya to return to her world, utilizing the portal created by Khyrsanth. As they bid their tearful farewells, Aranaya vowed to find a way to restore Araneechan's life, while Khyrsanth pledged to safeguard Araneechan's body until that time. Both driven by their shared desire for justice and retribution, they set forth on their separate paths, united in their quest to avenge the loss of Aranaya's parents and to bring harmony to their fractured world once more.

Jumbonaya, The Hotdog by IntrovertedWanderer23
Once upon a time,

There was a dragon girl with blond hair, sharp horns with rubies, red scales, and electric powers named Aranaya Xaphina. She was a Queen with beauty and power in her name, she lived in a stone castle in the plains of a tropical country with her three high knights and her army of Dragon Knights of all shapes, sizes, races, and being at her beck and call.

She had many, many interests and certain likes, guns, dragons, pets, arts, and streaming but most of all, she had a fixation on hotdogs. She was enamored by this specific meat and she loved all kinds of it, frankfurters, weiners, sausages, and most of all the Kielbasa, the thickest and longest of them all. But this fixation had come to a point of obsession, the queen's mind could not go a day without the thought of hotdogs and it always made her stomach rumble, for a week she had only eaten the meat product and she made a smoothie of all the hotdogs and sausages she could find and almost drank it had it not been for her Dragon Knights to stop her.

Her Knights were worried sick for their queen and they needed to find a way to handle this fixation until one of them suggested looking within the sacred texts of the castle's library. Together they searched and scourged every scroll, every book, and every page within the shelves, not letting any stone unturned, until one of them by the name of Tomokiii, a master of the magic arts, found a book of spells hidden in a dark corner.

He opened it and recognized the contents and drawings inside, he knew these texts and he flipped and flipped the old, brown pages until he found what he was looking for. He brought it to the knights and shared what he found, they all discussed their next course of action and put their new plan into action.

One day when Aranaya awoke, she was called by one of her knights to the roundtable chamber for an important meeting, she followed him to the chamber and saw her knights in a circle, wearing hotdog costumes of all kinds, her three high knights wearing the containers of mayonnaise, ketchup, and cheese and Tomokiii wearing a chefs clothes and hat.

She was confused and demanded an explanation and the magic artist answered that this ritual can help give her the best hotdog in the world to satisfy her hunger. She contemplated this, for most people this would cause some hesitation but she wasn't most people and neither was her dragon knights, she trusts and cares for them just as they do for her so she accepted it.

She stood in the middle of the Hotdog Knight Circle, the three Condiment Knights stood near and surrounded her in a triangle formation while Tomokiii stood in the space between the two formations facing her. He began chanting in an ancient tongue and the circle started swaying left and right, soon Ara felt something inside her and she knew that this was magic that was coming closer to her, the chanting grew louder and soon her eyes felt heavy before she lost consciousness.

But her body did not fall but rather it rose to the air slowly, Tomokiii chanted louder and soon the costumes of the Knight Circle and the High Knights started to break apart in small pieces and they floated to the suspended dragon queen, covering her in a ball of hotdogs, bread, mayonnaise, ketchup, and cheese.

Soon the ball began the glow brighter and brighter until it shined like a sun, blinding the occupants. Soon the light dimmed to a normal light bulb and floated down into the ground, the light dimmed until it was gone and revealed Aranaya, but as she opened her eyes she felt different, her body was bigger, and her arms and legs felt crunchy and her wings felt fluid. She asked what happened and one of the knights brought a mirror for her to see and she was astonished at what she saw.

Standing in the mirror was her as a living, walking, and breathing hotdog, her body was a red, thick hotdog that white round eyes and a thin line of her mouth on her "head" and a wiggly line of cheese running down the middle, covering her sides and back was the bread that connected her arms and legs to her body and behind her were red feathered wings made of ketchup.

She had never felt so much joy and she thanked her knights, claiming that she was blessed to have them by her side and they were thankful for her in their lives. Her obsession had now been satisfied and they went on with their days happily and filled with more shenanigans in the story.

The End.
