I'm betting time changed the maiden's story a lot from the original version.

Wouldn't it be a kicker if the old guy responsible for auras and semblences was also responsible for the grimm?

For Example:

Long ago, before the days of peace between the four nations, there was war. Brutal, petty, frustrating war. One dark stormy day, a cyclone brought a stanger in a mystical flying contraption...

The leaders of the four kingdoms thought him to be a wizard for al the feats he could do. To avoid their constant nagging for power, this "wizard" hid himself away in a forest. The leaders sent their forces to find him and retrieve his aid. The wizard, annoyed at their attempts, threatened them with dire consequences if they asked his help again.

Each of the leaders thought themselves cunning. They each sent a daughter to plead their cause.

The girls eventually encounter eachother in the forest and decide, after a few harrowing, friendship building events, that they will find the wizard together and each one plead their own cause.

Yada Yada Yada Emotional Realization

The wizard who is looking on from his magic mirror, is amused by their cameraderie and poofs a yellow brick road under their feet that leads to his house. The girls then all hold hands and sing "Oh, we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of ..."

Along the way, the girls talk and think about the current war. They question their causes. Yada Yada

They reach his house and each girl decides not to ask for his help. The wizard is still amused and asks what it is that they want. They reply that they want the fighting between their respective nations to stop. He trades the granting of this wish for advice and shoves them on their merry way.

He gives people aura and semblances. And then creates the grimm so the nations have something to fight besides eachother and he can have some peace and quiet.
