0. Prologue
"If we are all made in God's image, I shall be my own God."

Once upon a time, a new human evolved. These humans were cast out. Hence the name for their people - outcasts. 

Once upon a time, a human by the name of Arachne, like she from the myth, welded arms to her torso, defying the way her gods had made her. For Arachne's vanity and her hubris, not only she, but her entire family were cursed to suffer the fates of outcasts. The curse bound her bloodline to be born with four arms instead of two, two of metal and two of flesh. Not only Arachne, but all her descendants were shunned from their homes, from their social circles, from everything they had ever known. They were labeled 'witches', 'demons' - some reveled in this. Some did not. 

Once upon a time, a descendant of this Arachne played the violin. Once upon a time, she heard what others were deaf to. She listened to the music, and in it, she heard the truth. 

Once upon a time, a girl made a mistake. She was bound to it. She suffered her own curse and that of another. Once upon a time, she had to survive. But could she?
