Stories Makes the World go Round (Massive Multi-Crossover/Original)

---

The Grand Sage, a figure of mystery and fables of which would be told upon future generations, much like the story of the guardians. However, The Sage was a far more enigmatic figure that had not appeared in many eras or stories. Some believe that the being never actually existed.

All those who heard of the story always bring up the most important fact: that it was The Sage that was the root to the revelation of the Soul Arts (which would later be known as Ki, Magic and Psionics), as well as their theory and wider practice.

But the Grand Sage was very much real. All records of the person itself were lost to the hungry abyss of time. Therefore one must always know the origin of the person who grew into myth.

The Grand Sage itself was just a nobody in the beginning of their lives, just like any other mortal who was watched by an omnipotent god. Their legend also spanned across the world, with each tale speaking of them living and making their grand achievements on a different continent. But where were they born? Which land in the world did they build their legend and form their teaching, from which their disciples spread across the world?

[ ] The Grand Sage was born and lived their entire life on the continent of Elibe.
[ ] The Grand Sage was born and lived their entire life on the continent of Fódlan.
[ ] The Grand Sage was born and lived their entire life on the continent of Valencia.
[ ] The Grand Sage was born and lived their entire life on the continent of Archanea.
[ ] The Grand Sage was born and lived their entire life on the continent of Tellius.
[ ] The Grand Sage was born and lived their entire life on the continent of Geehrtland.
[ ] The Grand Sage was born and lived their entire life on the continent of Magvel.
[ ] The Grand Sage was born and lived their entire life on the continent of Jugdral.

Aside from that, the first years of their lives were filled with peace and quiet, as they were merely children at a time not so long after the defeat of the Ten Tails Cyclops at the hand of the Divine Guardians. This allowed the young sage to know a happy childhood with very little bloodshed, but with an insatiable craving for knowledge always driving them forward. But who were they exactly, who's identity would erode and disappear to the clutches of time? What was their origins? (Choose 1 of each!)

Few, that was a lot longer and harder to write than I anticipated.

Okay everyone, this isn't a long one or a complicated one. Since the figure of The Grand Sage is very vague, I decided that the first part of the story would be to create the actual person who's tale this is going to be. This isn't very hard, but the combinations sure sound hella fun to me.

Until next time say healthy, stay safe and have a great day.

I just had a pretty shitty day today and I'm all tired.

Voting is closed. Based on the tie-breaker's number, I decided that the first plan of the two the formed wins. Son Wukong got the part.
