The Gear, The Curse, and the Five Bit Coin

NOTE: BECAUSE IT HAS SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLOTS, I AM NOT PUBLISHING ANYTHING PUBLICLY UNTIL IT IS VERY COMPLETE.
This is a steampunk/fantasy/choose-your-own-adventure story!

In the city of hot-air balloons in the sky called Icurusi, everyone is naive. Only a few know about the secret of death, or even pain. In a tragic accident, a hero arises, or should you choose, a villain. Elizabeth Thundercloud, otherwise known as Five-bits, is too curious for her own good. When venturing down to the surface, you unearth a mystery surrounding the endowed, or humans who are born magically empowered, who may just inadvertently cause a war in the unknown land of Riepetowan. With every choice you make, unravel another thread of this mystery, save or destroy cities, stop or win wars, and choose your own adventure.

"The great, double-headed dragon roared into the sky, spewing out crimson flame. The red light danced on its emerald-green armor, shimmering brightly. "Sorry, but I'm not it the mood to be eaten right now," Five-bits informed the dragon through gritted teeth, tightening her grip on the sword. She lifted the googles down over the brim of her hat to protect her good eye from the smoke that billowed from the dragon's mouths. She raised her gun and fired a shot straight into the left head's fang. The tooth exploded into fractures of bone, spewing green poison all down the dragon's left neck. The left head raised to the sky and howled in pain, the right head narrowed its yellow cat-like eyes. "You're really going to pay for that," it growled in a voice like thunder that echoed off of the sides of the canyon. It brought its huge clawed right talons back, then swung forwards at terrifying speed enough to rip a human in half. Five-bits jumped and the talon sailed harmlessly under her feet. The left head had recovered. "So, little human," it purred in a voice like silk. "Shall you run, or shall you fight?"
