Chapter 1: a path is chosen

A young boy is seen running across the streets of the principality of Arcadia, his face is seen with streaks of tears, Jaune arc has once again been denied the opportunity to start his training by his parents due to a prophetic vision his grandfather, Prince Julius Augustus Arc, had about his fate being determined on the path that he choses, which could result in the young princeling's death or the entry of remnant into an era of prosperity. His father, Jonathan Arc, out of fear and anxiety of his child's safety decided that he is to be banned from any type of training and become the next in line to the throne.

The child ran and ran, to where? who knows, as all he ever thought of is the unfairness of his life.

'*hic* it's not fair! all I want to be is to be a hero for my people and all of remnant and make my parents proud...why won't they just let me train!? all of my big sisters were given combat training while I wasn't even allowed to hold a knife let alone a sword...hell my younger sisters Sherry got to start in marksmanship training, it's all unfair...'

flashback- earlier that day

"Happy birthday Jaune!" his parents exclaimed as they removed the blindfolds from the young princeling, jaune was jumping with joy as it was his 7th birthday, with many of his family attending except for his grandfather and some of his uncles and aunts due to a meeting regarding the annual defense budget of Arcadia, but they promised to catch up as soon as the assembly was over.

The eldest sister, Josephine and her twin sister Jolyne had temporarily returned from Mistral Academy to attend their sibling's day, along to their right is Marie, the 3rd child as well as one of the brightest minds in the family, as she was able to comprehend advanced physics and chemistry at the young age of 13, her twin sister (yes another pair of twins) Florence is a caring individual that always helps the sick and wounded despite her young age and has a advanced knowledge of medicine, she usually volunteers inside the local hospitals and clinics to tend to the patients. The 5th child Sapphron is headstrong and a bit blunt about her opinions but at the end of the day is still a caring heart, with her friend Terra also attending the celebration, the 7th child, Sherry is a prodigy with the Bow like her mother despite being a 5 years old.

"Ahhphy burday!" The last child, Silvaine shouted as she climbed to her big brother's head and started lightly pulling his hair.

"Oww, Silvy my hair, please stop pulling my hair" jaune mutters as he tries to gently pry her sister from her head while she giggles and holds harder.

"Now now young lady, let's not make your brother bald at a young age" the matriarch, Jeanne Arc, picks up the toddler from her brother's head. "Now let's eat while the food is nice and hot!".

Throughout the feast Jaune was a bit timid, as if he was gathering his courage. "Jaune? What's wrong sweety?" Her mother asks.

"Well... mom, dad..." the child hesitated, "What is it Lad? Cat got your tongue?" His uncle, Navy Fleet Commander Jack Arc, inquires after downing an entire mug of Ale. "Well I was going to ask... can I finally start my training? Well I'm 7 years old now and jolyne and josephine had started theirtrainingatmyageandevensherry-" "jaune slow down sweetie, we couldn't understand what you were saying" his godmother, Catherine Lancaster had interjected to let the young boy breathe. "I want to start my training, I wanna become a hero, to help people in not just arcadia but the whole of remnant! Like the stories of grandpa and all my uncles always told me of fighting bad guys, killing grimm and saving the day!", most of the people attending were silent after his declaration, but a hopeful yet sad smile was adorned by all of the adults among the crowd. Nicholas had a sad but determined look in his face as he addresses his son "son, im sorry but we have been through this so many times-" "Nick c'mon mate-" Jack interjects but his brother held his hand up, "please let me finish Jack'', as Nicholas slowly walks towards his son, Jaune shrunk from his seat expecting a scolding, but a gentle hand was placed on his shoulder as his father spoke to him " Son I'm really sorry, but as your father I can't risk you life for your dream." Prior to this conversation all that Jaune ever got was a scolding everytime he asks to be trained, but they never explained why he wasn't allowed.

"What?...Why? Why can't i train like big sis Josy and Joly, even Sherry gets to use a bow and arrow but I'm not even allowed to go anywhere near the training grounds..." tears start to well up from his eyes, which made many of the adults feel guilty for ignoring the child's plea for training.

"Nick, we can't keep hiding the vision forever..." Jeanne tells his husband, which earned a deep breath. "Jaune, during the night where your mother was in labor and was about to give birth to you, your grandfather had vision during his sleep, he saw a burning Arcadia, with many people hurt..." Nicholas steadies his breath before continuing " and atop the throne sat a black haired woman that reeked of evil and sin, and before the foot of the throne laid the burning body of a blonde boy, you were that boy Jaune." The young princeling was wide eyed and saw his father's grief stricken face, with her mother having tears in her eyes thinking of his only baby boy dead and his body being desecrated with fire.

At first he was silent but all of a sudden bargained to his father"b-b-but that can be anyone dad, m-m-m-maybe its a random boy." "That can be son, but it's far too much of a coincidence, and no one new if you were a boy or girl, yet your grandfather predicted you were a boy even before you were delivered, and ever since that 1st vision, during the night before your birthday, you grandfather relives that nightmare..." at the end of his father's story, Jaune was staring blankly towards the horizon, "so... all I can do is sit here... and wait for my death?..." at this Jeanne hugged his poor boy "No of course not sweetie, we just want to keep you safe..." however Jaune didn't hear any of it and just took off and ran from the Palace.

"Jaune!" Nicholas was about to chase the kid, however Catherine grabbed his arm "let him go Nick, he needs time to reflect on this revelation, you just ripped his dream away from his hands..." a sad and somber feeling was felt amongst the crowd

Return to present time

He continues to run across the many hallways of the castle, his thoughts scattered and his mind cloudy and stormy. After a while, he tires himself out and trips, falling in front of the hall of heroes, where the legends of the past reside. He leans on one of the big pedestals and laments on the unfairness of life and destiny.

"Jaune? What's wrong my boy?" A voice suddenly rings out of the other end of the hall, out came an old man with a wooden cane that had a golden handle shaped like a dragon, he wore a simple dark blue tuxedo with a chest brooch pin of the arc symbol and a Dragon's head combined in 1 insignia, his blonde hair is styled in a simple combover with the roots graying, revealing his age.

"Grandpa Jules? What are you doing here?" Jaune asked. "Oh just visiting my parents and asking for a wish?" he said with a gentle and calming smile. "How about you? Why aren't you at the feast? If you were looking for me you didn't need to, I was just about to go there myself."

Jaune sinks into his sitting position hugging his legs tighter.

"Jaune? What's wrong? You know you can always tell me." Jaune looks at his grandfather, eyes watery he explains the entire situation and the fact that he will never become a hero like his family members had become.

Needless to say, his grandfather was fuming. He picks up the tired, sleeping child and marches back to the celebration. As soon as the old man reached the party many of the people went to greet the patriarch of the clan, but he raised 1 finger with a furious expression on his face and said " .Word." As he entered to place Jaune to his bedroom to sleep peacefully, as soon as he closed the door of the room, he took a deep breath to start the tongue-lashing he was about to give.

"YOU IDIOTS! How in Oum's green remnant did you fuck up the lad so badly that the the young boy came running to the halls thinking he was a FAILURE! he is 7 for oum's sake! How have NONE of you even given him lessons in the basics in combat?!"

Most of the adults winced, even after all this time the old man's scolding was like remembering their 1st day in combat classes all over again.

"Dad, please let me ex-" "explain what? Explain your idiocy?! I thought you love the boy?!" At this accusation Nicholas snapped " I DO DAD WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!" "BECAUSE YOU ATTEMPTED TO DESTROY HIS OWN DAMN DREAMS NICHOLAS, FUCK SAKE SON ALL HE WANTS TO BE IS TO BE A HERO, TO HELP EVERYONE IN NEED! ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU ALSO WANTED?! WHO ARE YOU TO TAKE THAT DREAM AWAY?" "BECAUSE I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE DAMNIT!"

The prince was silent after that, "what did you say?" He looks at his son eyes narrowed, the place was silent until Jeanne interjected, "Father ever since you had that vision, we didn't want Jaune to be in danger, and so we chose for him to have a sheltered but protected life while he takes the role of high prince." The silence was deafening before Julius took a deep breath to calm his nerves before addressing his family "Son, I know that you think you're doing something that can escape Jaune from this prophecy, but haven't you stopped and thought about how stupid this all is? The vision that I had is not the be all end all of Jaune's fate, and what good does it make if you don't help prevent that vision from becoming a reality by preparing him? Jonathan your heart was in the right place, but depriving your son of his dreams is very well off killing his drive to live."

"Perhaps I could help." a voice called out of the entrance.

The next day

Jaune wakes up, feeling dejected and downtrodden after once again being denied the chance to start his combat training, however learning about the reason why seemed to have given him a sense of hopelessness, as if the universe itself has declared him unfit for any type of combat, he starts to take anything and everything that was related to his dream; the wooden sword that he made himself, the different texts of war and the miniature playset of warriors and soldiers, and placed them all in a box container to be left in his closet to fade from sight. '*Sighs, I guess that's it for my dreams I guess, so much for being the knight in shining armor...' but as he was about to close his closet a knock was heard on his door.

"Jaune, my boy are you awake? can we come in?" the voice of his grandfather rang out. "yeah grandpa you can come in", his grandfather came in

with a stranger, a brown haired man wearing strange blue robes with yellow gloves and brown shin length leather boots, as well as a crimson red cape with an abnormally large collar, and what seems to be a necklace with an eye pendant in the middle.

his grandfather looked around and noticed the room was a bit more vacant, with certain missing items. "where is your sword? and where is your remnant soldier set? I was thinking of playing a game with you, I think I have a way to beat you." Jaune looked at his grandpa downtrodden , the glint in His eyes dulled and mute, at this the prince became concerned. "Well grandpa, I guess since I cant even do combat training, those things are useless, might as well just be preparing to be the next prince, despite me not doing anything of worth to my people." the stranger then interjected "Young one the worth of a leader does not just depend on his or her past actions, but also the will and purity of their heart and mind." His Grandfather introduces the stranger " Jaune this here is Steven Kael Strange, Many of Arcadia may know him as a brilliant Neurosurgeon, but in the shadows he is known as something else" He poses in a dramatic fashion which helps lighten the young child's spirit "I am known as the sorcerer supreme, protector and master of the mystic arts , and I am here with an offer Jaune Arc." at this Jaune froze before squinting his eyes towards the crazy magic man "I'm sorry sir but I'm not really one of petty party tricks" at this a vein is seen at the side of Dr. Strange's forehead which earned a Hearty laugh from his Grandfather "Hahahaha, well my boy I assure you that Dr. Strange here is a bonafide sorcerer, he has been with our family and our nation for decades now" "really? prove it", the sorcerer smirked and out of nowhere his cape unclipped itself out of his back and shot itself towards the startled boy, closing his eyes out of fear "Ah!" the seemingly sentient cape wrapped itself around the young child as he started...Floating?, he slowly opened his eyes before realizing he was in the air.

" This world is strange and filled with wonder young child, and though many things can be explained with science and logic, the arcane and the esoteric still exist. Things such as aura and semblances, as well as the mystery that is dust: all of these things are in its own shape, magic. the reason I am here child is to ask that you would be under my tutelage, to be the next sorcerer supreme as I can feel a powerful magic within you, I have also visited you due to the vision that your grandfather had, as it correlates with a Prophecy that your Family has had for a long time and it states as such"

The son at his 7th shall bear the prophecy

to lead the world to hope or tragedy

he shall end the tyranny of the false gods

and reveal to all mortals the broken façade

He shall free the tormented two

Or watch remnant burn to start anew

As soon as the final line was said, what seemed to be a glowing circle suddenly manifested and surrounded Jaune, then another appeared, and another, and another. Until 6 circles surrounded the child, engulfing him in an energy so potent and yet so calming. He did what seemed instinctive to him and gathered the energy into a single point and at the last second, burst it outwards.

Potent Energy burst out of the castle and outwards to Camelot, as it washed over the land, the seemingly dead grasses was brought to life, leafless trees that seemed dead suddenly sprouting new leaves, and as the energy wave passed through a Hospital, Miracles suddenly started to appear. A child that was caught up in A Vehicular accident suddenly felt a cooling, serene sensation around him and at the exact moment a doctor was checking the young child's condition, the seemingly bedridden, comatose child gradually woke up from his bed and asked the attending doctor where his parents were, stunning everyone around him, however this was but one of the many cases that stunned many at the hospital; seemingly hopeless cases were given new life: a Terminally Ill Snake Faunus with a brain tumor was cured of the cancerous entity, a burn victim suddenly healing all the wounds and burns, even a veteran that was a left leg amputee went to put on his prosthetic leg only to find it not fitting, as his leg was randomly regenerated out of thin air.

After that show of arcane power, Dr. Steven's wide eyed expression turned into a sly smile as he turns to his stunned old friend "told ya it was him", after a while the potent magic finally dissipated and Jaune, seemingly in a trance came to "What happened?", after a short explanation Jaune was looking at his arms in both wonder and fear, then the sorcerer patted his shoulder to gain his attention " So, Jaune arc, Will you accept my offer as my apprentice?"

And there it is! hope you liked this chapter! I was going to make like a profile Bio for each of the characters that were revealed but this is getting really long lol, so I will do this on the next chapter.

Also In this universe I made it as both Oz and Salem are gray characters, one being an ignorant poor puppet, and the other a grieving soul just trying to find something worth living for, because we all know who are the real assholes in the series. who would you feel is the enemy here: a mourning woman trying to bring back a loved one, or a pair of holier than thous that ACTUALLY KILLED THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF REMNANT, as well as one of them being the literal reason of all their hardships.

and as you can see there are changes to Dr. Strange's personality here, but in a way he is still the Dr. strange we all know and love, and yes that necklace was the eye of agamotto however it does not have the time stone like the MCU, it is the original eye from the comics.

Thanks for reading and pls don't forget to favorite and follow for more, also review it if you want, however I am reminding everyone any type of Harassment WILL BE IGNORED, don't be a asshat to others.

Til next Time,

some random Filipino
