"I'll explain after I give you a tour of the camp," Percy said, grabbing my hand and leading me forward. Everyone had left to do something, so it was just the two of us.

"Those are the cabins," he said pointing to some buildings," You get placed in a cabin depending on who your Godly parent is." I looked over to where he was pointing and saw a half circle of cabins. Three of them were more prominent than the rest, each with their decorations.

"Godly Parent? What do you mean? I mean you were always kind of a geek, but I never thought that you'd come to a camp to satisfy you mythological needs." I said raising my eyebrows at him. Who was he kidding? Mom had always said that dad left us, but she never spoke poorly about him.

"Ok, so you know how it was always you, me, and mom? Well, that's because our dad is a god. So that makes us Demigods, half god, and half mortal. That's why monsters back at the cafe attacked us. "

"So who's our Godly parent?" I humored him.

"Poseidon, you'll be sleeping in Cabin 3 with me." Poseidon huh? I guess this was Percy's way of coping with the whole "your dad was lost at sea" thing.

"So why are those cabins bigger than the rest?" I asked. Those three cabins where not only the biggest but they were at the head of the half circle.

"Those cabins belong to the big three. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Thalia and Jason are children of Zeus, but Thalia doesn't usually come to camp since she joined the hunters of Artemis. And Nico is Hades's son, he had a sister, but she died in one of the quests."

"Okay, so what's this camp for?"

"It's for people like us. Every camper here is a Demigod. This camp helps us train so that we know how to survive in the real world."

"So, when do I start training?"

"Right after I take you to the big house."

"Like court?"

"No El, not like court. It's where Mr. D and Chiron are."

"Chiron, the centaur who trained all those heroes?" I may not know as much about Greek mythology as Percy does, but that doesn't mean that I don't know anything.

"Yep, that's him."

"But he's like thousands of years old! How's that possible?" I mean, seriously, how far gone was Percy into this whole demigod thing?

"He was granted immortality." Yeah, I thought, makes perfect sense.

"So where's everyone? It looks pretty empty here. I thought this was a camp."

"I honestly don't know." Well, that's depressing. I was hoping to meet people who were hopefully sane. We stopped in front of a house if you could call it a house. It was huge!

"Oh, so is this the big house?" I said pointing at the white house with blue trimming.

"Yeah now let's go inside." I followed Percy inside the house, and suddenly I was face to face with a man in a wheelchair and another pudgy man, who was wearing a repulsive Hawaiian shirt, playing some card game.

"Hey Chiron, Mr. D" Percy said nodding his head towards them.

"Hello Percy, I assume that this is your sister? Annabeth came by to tell me." Chiron said, looking towards me.

"Hi," I said waving awkwardly.

"If she's your sister I automatically dislike her. If you two are related, then she's most likely gonna be like you, and I don't like you." The guy I'm assuming is Mr. D, said.

"Who are you?" I said.

"Dionysus, not that you'd know who I was.."

"Son of Zeus, God of wine?"

"You know what, I might tolerate this one." He said nodding his head in approval. Whoop-dee-doo, I'm on the good side of a man with horrible fashion taste who is also far gone in this weird cosplay thing.

"So Peter, what do you want?" Mr. D said.

"It's Percy."

"Whatever." Mr. D muttered.

"So child what was your question?" Chiron inquired.

"Well since Ellie here is my sister, she also has the same dad. And I was wondering why he hasn't claimed her. We made a deal with the Gods that their children be claimed at 13 but she's 15. Usually, monsters start attacking at age 12, and she was never attacked until today."

"The Gods have their reasons Percy, and it might've been a stroke of luck perhaps. Now show her to your cabin and take her to the training area. Oh, and Iris message your mother. She must be expecting you two." Chiron said waving his hand dismissively.

"Wait, I have a question. If you're Chiron the centaur, why are you in a wheelchair?" I asked still skeptical about this whole demigod thing. He chuckled and said," I'm sorry to have hidden my true form, it's just that it usually frightens the new campers." He stood up, and my eyes popped out of their sockets.

"So I'm guessing I should probably stop pretending that what happened in the cafe was just a twisted figment of my imagination and just admit that there are things in this world that don't make sense like the fact that I am a demigod and my whole life has been a lie." I nodded. Okay, seems easy enough.

Percy's POV

I had a feeling Chiron was hiding something. Did the gods have something planned out for her and did Chiron know what it was? I guess we'll find out soon enough. I led Ellie to the cabin and took out a drachma.

"What are you doing?" asked Ellie. She was still looking around the cabin, picking things up and placing them back down.

"I'm going to IM mom."

"With a coin? Why don't you call her?"

"Because we can't use phones, it's like sending a signal to monsters. As if you're saying I'm here come attack me!"

"Oh, then what are you going to do with the coin?"

"Like I said I was going to IM mom, as in Iris message. You know the Goddess Iris; well if you pay her and ask nicely, then you can call anyone. "

"Oh, so you're gonna call her now? Tell her I said hi and that I'm doing fine."

"Tell her yourself. I'm sure mom wants to speak with you."

"Yeah, I'm gonna pass on that. I'm still trying to process everything and I don't think talking to mom is going to help. I'm going out to explore, and I'll see you at the campfire I guess. Bye." She said walking out the door.

"Bye," I called out. The door slammed shut, and I threw the coin and said," Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering." The image wavered a bit then became clear. Mom was pacing around the kitchen muttering things like where could they be? And are they all right?

"Hey, mom," I said. She jumped and looked up.

"Percy? Are you at camp? Where's Elle? Are you two okay? Is she injured? Can I see her? Did you tell her yet? How is she handling everything?"

"Whoa mom, calm down. Yes, we're at camp, and we're okay. The gang and I went to the cafe and long story short, I saw her there, monsters attacked, and we came here. No, she is not injured, she went out exploring the camp just now."

"Is she mad that I never told her about your dad?" mom said looking down. Was she mad? You could never really tell with Ellie; she never was easy to read.

"Honestly mom, I don't know. I'll tell her to IM you later. She went out to explore the campgrounds- I guess she's still trying to adjust."

"Percy, please take care of your sister. I know you had a hard time going through this too, but your sister, well she's a more of a loose cannon than you were. And well, you know she still has some resentment against from me when I sent her off to boarding school without warning, and I can't imagine that this is helping. Percy, you and I both know your sister better than anyone else. Eliana is a strong girl, but you know this must be eating away at her. Please take care; I love you both very much" She smiled sadly.

" I will mom, don't worry. Bye, I love you, and you know Elle does too." I broke the connection and went out looking for Ellie. Hopefully, she didn't get into any trouble.
