NEED HELP WITH AN IDEA

Ok,

So I'm making a Breath of Fire game that's set in between 2 and 3. There are some places that are the same that are in 2, though. I have the demo up on the game page itself if you want to try it out before answering, but you really dont need to.

Basically, your city exploded, you wake up...(your friend carried you somewhere nearby to tend your wounds)

a:) in the ruins of gate, in a crumbling st. eva church (but one might not believe it could withstand 1000 years, which is the timeline, if it wasnt smushed by township anyway)

b:) an abandoned hunter's cottage

c:) under the boughs of the world tree that was near gate

d:) or in a mysterious dungeon that was unearthed during the chaos.

or e:) something else


Thanks in advance!

I do have the plot line mapped out to the end of the game, but not sure on this little fragment of story
