"But why must we keep our true identity hidden, Father?" The young boy's voice was tinged with frustration and confusion. "Aren't we royalty? Isn't it our right to be known for who we are?"

The father's gaze was solemn as he looked down at his son. "I understand your frustration, my son. Believe me, I do. But revealing who we truly are carries risks far beyond your understanding. Our power and our lineage are both a blessing and a burden. If we expose ourselves, not only will our lives be jeopardized, but the lives of those we hold dear will be at risk as well."

The boy's brow furrowed, his youthful face reflecting his inner turmoil. "But isn't it worth it? To be seen for what we truly are, to claim our place?"

The father placed a reassuring hand on his son's shoulder. "It's not simply about worth or right. It's about survival. In this world, power can attract not just admiration but envy and hostility. Our secrecy is our shield, and our discretion is our strength. We must remain vigilant and hidden, not out of shame, but out of necessity."

The boy sighed, his shoulders slumping as he grappled with the weight of his father's words. "I see," he murmured, though his eyes still held a flicker of defiance. "I just wish things were different."

The father offered a small, encouraging smile. "Patience and wisdom will guide us. In time, you will understand the importance of our caution. For now, let us focus on safeguarding our future and those we love."
 
   [headmistress Bloodgood's office]

Daniel sat in the headmistress's office, his mind still racing from all the new experiences at Monster High. Before him, Headmistress Bloodgood's head rested on her desk while her body leaned back in the chair. Her detached head, the legacy of her lineage as the child of the Headless Horseman, regarded him calmly as she picked up a stack of papers.

"Since you're new to Monster High, we'll begin by giving you your schedule," Bloodgood said, her voice smooth and measured. "We've picked out a selection of classes to get you started, and I hope you don't mind."

Daniel smiled, holding up his hands. "Oh, not at all. Given that this is all new to me, I'd much rather go in knowing that everything is set up. So, what's my class period schedule?"

Bloodgood carefully picked up the papers and began reading through his schedule. "For your academic classes, we've selected a balanced mix. You'll be starting with Clawculus for your math requirement. I trust you're up for the challenge? It's quite advanced."

Daniel chuckled nervously. "I'll manage."

"Good," she continued. "For sciences, Dragonology seemed a natural fit-though I must say, that class covers more than just dragons, despite what the name suggests." She smiled knowingly, though Daniel couldn't tell if she suspected anything. "You'll also be taking Monster Anatomy-an essential for understanding your fellow students."

He nodded, trying to keep his cool.

"In terms of the arts, we've included Creative Writing to give you an outlet for expression, and Sculpting to keep things... hands-on," she said, flipping to the next sheet. "You'll also have Magic History as part of your required history credits. Even if you're not magical yourself," she added with a wink, "it's important to know the traditions."
