Hi, Brooke Page here. You may know me as the narrator that was brave enough to narrate the story of what transpired in the last Chapter; Legend of Shadow High. I'm going to be telling the story from the POV of the characters at Ever After High. I will also be joined by a newer narrator named; Evielyn Rossi (who is a female-aligned nonbinary transgender), who will be telling the story from the POV of the characters at Monster High. So, please bear with us as this story unfolds. And now we will begin.

It was a beautiful day at Ever After High. Apple and Raven woke up early the next morning to discover that Giles Grimm was in the dorms encouraging students that what had transpired was simply just an Earthquake which knocked everyone unconscious and they were dreaming everything that they saw.

Milton Grimm was in the Headmaster's office thinking about whether he should tell the students and Faculty about the other schools and how they had been visited by two students from one of the other schools. Briar Beauty, who was the Teacher's Assistant to Madame Baba Yaga for that week, had been asked to collect some paperwork from the Headmaster's office regarding a new student; Francine Princess, daughter of the Pea Princess from the story of the Princess and the Pea. Briar was just outside Milton's office, when she overheard him talking to someone over the video-phone. "So, how did your students cope with what transpired a few days ago, Headmaster Dracula?" The man on the other end of the phone call answered with a deep accent.

"The last few days have impacted a lot of the students but the two who have been seriously impacted are; Frankie Stein and my daughter, Draculaura. Who both mentioned to me the other day that they had just saved the world from being destroyed and that they visited a high school for Fairytale characters and their children."

Suddenly; Milton heard someone outside his office gasping after overhearing his conversation with the headmaster of another school, and the conversation was abruptly put on hold. "You may as well come in Ms. Beauty!" Milton said with an agitated tone. Milton and Dracula were still talking as Briar opened the door and walked inside the headmaster's office. The brunette spoke softly; "Forgive me, Headmaster Grimm; but I've been assigned the position of Teacher's Assistant to Madame Yaga for the week, and she has asked me to pick up some paperwork from your office regarding new student; Francine Princess. I was about to knock on your door as I heard you and the other Headmaster talking about what happened the last few days."

Dracula told Milton; "I think it's best if she knows what we know as her mother's story is intertwined with many other stories that are not all fairytales. Not only that; after the whole Shadow High fiasco, I think it's best if both your students and mine should be allowed to know the existence of all the other schools and students at those schools. The whole Shadow High situation a few days ago was inevitable anyway." Milton looked at Dracula and then at Briar, before replying; "I believe you're right, Headmaster Dracula. My students deserve to know about the rest of the schools and what better way than to tell the one student at my school who is the biggest gossip, she'll tell everyone about what she heard. But she'll also keep secrets if asked to, I think she can be trusted as long as she promises that this conversation between us stays a secret."

Briar looks at Headmaster Grimm and then said; "Headmaster, I promise to not tell anyone about your conversation with Headmaster Dracula. But I cannot guarantee that I won't mention the existence of other schools to any of the students." Headmaster Grimm looked at Briar, "You can tell them about there being other schools, just don't tell anyone about my conversation with Headmaster Dracula from Monster High. Do you understand, Ms. Beauty?" Briar nodded. After a few minutes, Milton ended his video call with Dracula and said; "Now, Ms. Beauty. You said that you wanted the paperwork regarding Ms. Princess for Madame Yaga is that correct?"

Briar nodded and then Milton handed a confidential file and said; "Normally, students aren't allowed to read or handle these files. But as you're an acting T.A., I will allow you to deliver this file to Madame Yaga along with this other file regarding; Ms. Queen. I've decided to allow her to transfer from Chemythstry 101 to Princessology 101 and from Evilology 101 to Royal Protocol 101, since; she is a princess and all. And seeing as she has no plans on following after her mother's story. I have decided that she is able to chart her own path and write her own story now."

Briar, who started class at Ever After as a Royal had become a Rebel after she didn't sign her page in the Storybook of Legends. It seemed like many of the Royals chose to go off-script and write their own path to follow their destiny, ultimately making them Rebels. Seeing as Headmaster Grimm was now allowing the leader of the EAH Rebels to write her own path, chart her own story and follow her own destiny, there is no longer any real need to have the Royal and Rebel factions. If the headmaster was willing to let the leader of the Rebels write her own story and choose her own destiny, then that means; he is also, completely fine with the rest of the Rebels writing their own stories and choosing their destinies.

Therefore; if there's no need to have the factions at EAH. There's now no need for division at Ever After High, that also means, there is no need for the students to be separated by heroes and villains or Royals and Rebels.
