Only the Wizard can help get them out of this mess they have created.Devin loses his hand because he is a thief. He leaves his town and makes his way to the Realm of the Enchanted Woodlands where he meets the Wizard. Devin knows he has magic; he just doesn't know what to do with it.And finally, we have Christa and Catherine, twins that ran away from a sideshow run by their drunken father.
