@soufianzn
"Märchen" = purely fictional
"Sage" = based on a real event/ person (more like: a real person/event sparked the story - it is by no means accurate, nor does it try to be) . There can still be magical elements and fantasy beasts added to the story.
The lines are blurry, but the far more common expression is "Märchen". There are way more famous "Märchen" then there are "Sagen", which is why Märchen is the fallback term when in doubt.
If it begins with "es war einmal", then it is a "Märchen".

Instead of " geschrieben", you can say "verfasst" , it sounds more natural and more formal for an essay
