 "It is said that in the 1500s, a group of extraordinary talent roamed the streets, but at the same time led a dissolute life. This group was so talented and hypnotic that they attracted the attention of every people; their influence was so powerful that it even drew the attention of the Church itself, which, fearful of this potential threat, decided to discredit the orchestra by spreading horrible rumors about them. However, this stratagem did not produce the desired effect; on the contrary, the sinister fame they had acquired made the group, until then nameless, become the Devil's Orchestra. Aware, however, that their rise would not last long, the group lived their last weeks on the edge, until the Church resorted to strong measures and arrested them for blasphemy. The members of the group, before dying by hanging, made a pact: they would write a letter in which they would tell their story, and 500 years later, that letter would reach each of their descendants, asking for the Devil's Orchestra to return to activity."
