This myth was popular among other clans and villages surrounding the Neko Village. So popular in fact it caught the interest of an uprising clan of demon shinobi, hell-bent on annihilation, "cleansing the sinful world in fire." To do so, they wanted the power of a god.
One could obtain such power with an ancient artifact known as the "Basilisk Orb". Legends spoke that it could give any being the power of a god.
Time and time again the search for the Basilisk Orb proved to be a failure.. Then, the prodigal daughter of the Neko village Serenity Arissa was becoming known far and wide to be a girl gifted in the ways of mana and her own unique engineering.
Unfortunately that gift for mana singled her out to this insidious clan of demons. With her gift they could make their own version of the Basilisk orb. Grant whomever within their ranks such grand power and clense this world. So they sought her out, her clan of Neko that were thought to be demons as well, and made an offer they thought none could refuse: Aid them or die.
The neko's leader Itsuki Arissa with all the wisdom the years of champoining their clan brought him met with those in search of the orb and heard their offer completely, giving them the chance to explain their needs. In the end he turned them away, not giving them the aid they so desired This created a great unsettling within their ranks and although Itsuki made a emense enemy with turning them away he shouldered no fear.
Ever the wise Itsuki knew of the assault that was about to befall his village. So the Shinobi Kage gathered his kind in a grand hall and explained all that was to befall them. Though most of the Shinobi did not think anything could happen to their village due to how well hidden it was. Their leader with a head bowed in humility went on to further explain why they needed to hide the children and keep them safe. After he had met with the head of the clan searching for the orb, Chitose his wife and shinobi partner would leave for hours on end without a word.
It was fool-hearted of her to think he wouldn’t notice, or even know why. After all a shinobi is built around deceit, and Itsuki was a masterful Kage. While he tended to their children she had been laying with the leader of the clan that was already wanting to war with them due to Itsuki turning them down. He had gathered enough information the moment he said no and she disagreed with him. From that moment he knew nothing good could come of it and the outcome was rather obvious.
Though most did not wish to believe these facts, the proof of her being absent at this gathering was all that was needed. Already most of the clan began to hide their children. Itsuki pulled his three girls to him and spoke those words that gave them strength even though they were very young. One of them, a spitfire full of energy and power just like her father had already been training what she could in his ways. If there had only been enough time she would have been far greater a shinobi and Kage than Itsuki with the proper training, and that was to be Dream’s future. There was no time for that now, and he knew all too well what was about to happen.
Rushing them off to a proper hiding place he made sure the three girls were tucked away safely and his fourth, a baby boy he took in his arms and held close. He loved them all deeply but Itsuki had no wish to leave them to this world. Moving this child into a separate room and taking off his own head band he laid it atop the Baby’s basket.
With all of this done he walked out to face the oncoming army that he could see from his perch high above the village. Looking down he also saw his Neko Shinobi ready to strike, lingering in the shadows of their own village. Normally he would think this to be a massacre for the enemy but with that venomous snake that betrayed them on their side he knew things were going to get rough.
Shockingly enough when they invaders came pouring in they were picked off in groups as his shinobi slid from one shadow to the next generating a rainbow of blood. Even the beasts of the land came to fight as well. Itsuki grew proud of his clan but saw the sudden tidal change in the fight as the higher ranking members of the Oniga came from all angles towards his own people.
They defended their home like any other predator would have: Not a single Neko fell without taking one or two down with him if not more. Itsuki saw the fall of his clan coming and swiftly moved through the cloud of enemies disembodying them swiftly with heavenly movements that to this day could find no measure. Finding himself surrounded by the actual leader who had took his wife, seduced her with the darkness, and swayed her thoughts to his, and a group of his assassins Itsuki only smiled faintly.
In a burst of speed he ran straight for the leader only to find himself blocked off by two of the assassin’s. They dropped swiftly enough to his blades cutting through them. The leader however did not, Itsuki engaged him in a battle that took hours to even begin to make him reach for higher strength. This leader he faced was no slouch but he was not going to let his end in a stalemate or just have his civilization crumble at the hands of these creatures.
Taking a firm grip of his enemy he jerked him down onto a kunai that was at his waist and kept his arm around him. In this close proximity Itsuki combined his chakra into his fire affinity and used himself as a massive explosive. One could compare the impact blast to be that of 140 pounds of C2 being that his entire body was turned into a bomb.
When the dust settled those who had already died in battle were fluttering white specs of ash like snow falling to the realm of the dead. The enemy leader had nothing left as far as remains and Itsuki had also perished. From his death, and the death of the elders in his clan could there be rebirth, could the children build a new hope and a new life for the Shinobi Neko’s. Itsuki fell in the belief that all of this was possible and he had spared not only his clan but the world a great injustice. He did not however think of what Chitose would do.
The dust settling and the ash still falling the conniving woman followed the scent of their young son and found him with ease. She took him up in his basket with the sentimental old fool’s headband and left with him leaving behind the girls. She wanted them to get older, she would need them later and knew it already. All that was left for those young ones hidden and still alive was to rebuild upon a world they had known and couldn’t help to prevent it’s destruction.
Taking on the burden of reforming the treaties with all of the previously allied clans Dream soon after went under tutelage under each clan’s Kage for a short stint of time. Her efforts were not in vein as she was on her way to becoming an incomparable, and peerless Kage. This would be granted by how she was preparing and forming her skills under each clans unique teachings.
The Oniga became more aggressive and haste filled. Their attacks at first seemed more direct and with purpose as they attacked the allies of the Neko village along with attempts on the Neko village itself. However the more consistent their attacks became the heavier the gravity of the situation became. For they began to attack those who were not yet allied with the Neko clan at all, and “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” could not have been more true to this situation. New allies were formed due to the irresponsible reactions of the Oniga: attacking basically anything that moved.
Before things became to grave the clans dispatched strong Shinbi and Kage alike to meet at disclosed location within Iga. They discussed what needed to be done about the situation and came to form a treaty. With this treaty formed no Shinobi clan would attack the other who signed this pact. With the treaty being settled Dream decided that she would venture to the village known as the Kitsune Village and study under the Kage Tachi Muzimaki. Not revealing anything about what was happening with the Oniga after all his clan had been untouched thus far and she was going to get what she needed to protect who she needed and that was it. Dream was putting her foot on the last step to becoming the kage she was destined to be.

NOW:
The Kitsune Village was destroyed by seemingly natural causes. Searching through the debris and ruin Dream collected everyone she could and retreated them to Neko No Mura, her home. A few warriors were missing, one of them being Tachi Muzamaki, her lover. Disheartened she returned home and took her position back as leader of Neko No Mura.

☆ Family:
Dream is one of three daughters of Chitose and Itsuki Arissa. All three are closely bound as they are triplets. (This is common within the Neko village.) The order of age is as follows; Serenity, Dream, Sanura. Though identical they are all completely different. Okuro was the last born, and the only boy. He is 4 years behind the sisters.
Serenity; Calm, collective, thoughtful.
Dream; Tsundere, hot headed, usually only affectionate to her sisters.
Sanura; Innocent, bubbly, friendly and curious
Okuro: Much like Dream is extremely hot headed, he is rebellious but very protective over Sanura.
As expected all three share the same clan ability, but out of the three Sanura cannot control the power she gains from it. She becomes slightly crazed and unintentionally goes on a spree which is triggered by the smallest irritations. After coming out of her berserk Sanura grieves all that she's done, and needs the comfort of her sisters. Dream and Serenity are very protective over Sanura, she's the runt (her features are smaller and she seems much more kid like. ) of the group and their "baby". It's a miracle Sanura survived birth.
☆ Weapons:
Bladed Knuckles:
Dream's so called "Brass Knuckles" are actually made up of highly intelligent technology that hosts within the knuckles three blades. The Knuckles on their own are crafted of a powerful version of Tungsten, while the blades that are held inside are crafted of sheets of titanium.
Now ordinarily the blades are locked inside of the knuckles by three powerful magnets between each connecting section of the knuckles. Making there three blades all together on each knuckle. The magnets are Neodymium magnets and they hold onto the titanium sheets until a trigger is pressed on the knuckle to extend the titanium sheets and form the blades. This process goes as follows.
Once Dream applies enough pressure to the trigger along the inside of her knuckles the magnets change their polarity simply by turning to the other side within her knuckle. Two of the magnets one to the left and the other to the right cast the polarity that clings the metal together and the magnet at the base uses the opposing polarity to shoot the titanium forward. The process is so fast that the titanium is slammed together, and magnetized into a full length blade. Each blade is seven inches long and sharp. The magnet is activated by the trigger pressed in which causes a small slip of tungsten to spin the magnet to it's other polarity.
When retracting the blades it is the opposite process. When triggered to retract the magnet is flipped once again by that small strip of Tungsten to be the polarity that pulls it back and the strips of metal pull back and separate into the walls along the section of her knuckles that contain the magnets completely covering them and keeping them out of harms way. This also gives a bit more of a shine to her already sparking weapons.
