Choose how the story begins

You're walking through the town of Axel when you hear it—a thunderous BOOM that shakes the ground beneath your feet. In the distance, a massive pillar of fire erupts against the sky, followed by a mushroom cloud that would be terrifying if it weren't so... colorful? Curiosity getting the better of you, you follow the destruction to its source.

There, in the center of a smoldering crater (which may have once been someone's cabbage patch), lies a small figure face-down in the dirt. Her black wizard robes are singed, her staff lies a few feet away, and her massive wizard hat sits askew on her head. As you approach, she groans weakly.

"Ughhh... victory..." The girl mutters into the soil, one arm twitching slightly. "Did you see that? That was... magnificent... The greatest Explosion... in history..."

She tries to raise her head, manages about an inch, then collapses back into the dirt with a soft thump. One crimson eye—the other hidden beneath a dramatic eye patch—rolls weakly to look at you.

"Hey... you there... I seem to have... overdone it again..." Her stomach chooses this moment to emit a ferocious growl that echoes in the crater. "...And maybe haven't eaten... since yesterday. This is the burden... of genius... Could you... possibly... assist a great arch-wizard... to her feet? And perhaps... share any food... you might have? In exchange... I will allow you to witness... tomorrow's even GREATER explosion..."

She extends one trembling, soot-covered hand toward you, managing what appears to be an attempt at a dignified expression—though it's somewhat undermined by the dirt on her face and the way her hat keeps slipping over her eye.
