Heeeeey everyone! Here's the chapter you were waiting for! Enjoy! P.S: I forgot saying this on the other chapters, but no, sadly, I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians and I don't own HoO. I wish I did, but I don't!

AMBER'S POV:

It was still morning when the locomotive came to a stop on top of a hill with an enormous tree on the very top of it. The tree emanated a golden glow that seemed to reach far away distances. I still couldn't understand how the wagon could move without tracks under it.

"Well, we're finally here!" Elpys said in an animated, hopeful and energetic tone that sounded just like a child. It was cute in a way.

"Why are you so excited? I thought I was the newcomer here." I said laughing, while leaving the wagon holding my bag in my hands, when I was got my sides scared to the earth's atmosphere when I realized I was facing a really big, and loud snoring dragon sitting behind the tree on the other side of the hill. I started turning around to go back inside the wagon when Elpys started pushing me forward.

"Chill girl! He doesn't bites, probably. And I've never been here myself so that's why I'm so excited!". Wait. Did he just said he was never here? What the sacred donkey butt?

"You've never been here? What do you mean? I thought you knew all about camp! You even told me about some camper's personal lives and you also know Chiron!"

"Actually, I don't. Your mother does. You see, she isn't noticed by people a lot, in general, or by gods, or monsters, or anything for the matter. She just knows how to blend in, and she doesn't care for attention as much as the other 11 or 12 power dudes up in NY. So she usually spends time here in camp by the fire in the dinning pavilion when there are, well, diners going on there. She isn't noticed by a lot of people. But she sure hears a lot. She told me everything she knew about camp. I think you will like it here, people here are almost always good company to keep." He said, with an ever growing smile on his face.

"So you're telling me I will get to see Hestia here? I miss her." I said, frowning a little bit at the memories I had of her, and how her face always made me feel at home. Elpys frowned a little before answering.

"She actually won't be able to. Word spreads fast in NY and when Zeus found out that you were a daughter of Hestia, he got a little upset at the thought of his maiden sister having a child, and the fact that she was with you during almost your entire life taking care of you personally didn't help either." My frown deepened.

"Aw Amber, don't be like that! I know you miss your mother but living here will be exciting and you will find good company, I promise!" Well, I hope I do, but now I remembered something that was nagging my thoughts with curiosity.

"Ok, I will trust your word. But Elpys, how have you never even been here before? Aren't you a demigod? Where else could you go?"

"If I was a roman demigod, I would probably have gone to Camp Jupiter, the one I told you on our way here remember? But the thing is I'm not actually a demigod."

"What do you mean? What else could you be? You really look like a mortal. Are you a normal mortal, like, born from mortal parents?"

"Not that either. Have you ever heard about the story of the Pandora Pithos?"

"Pithos? Didn't you mean to say Pandora's Box?" I was curious about where this was going.

"No. I meant pithos. I don't know what is up with people. It was never a box! But forget about that. You remember that in the story the PITHOS used to hold a crapload of evil stuff and all that but it also held the spirit of hope? When Pandora opened the whatever-you-want-to-call-it, all the evil inside came out, but the spirit of hope remained. The thing is that your mother, due to a certain demigod, ended up having the pithos in her hands after the Second Titan War, and instead of just holding it, or putting it on her bedside table for decoration or whatever, she decided that to free the spirit inside instead, now that there was no harm in doing so anymore. When she did, I came out, with flashy green fireworks and confetti and all that. So yeah, I'm the spirit of hope. It's not as special as it sounds, as to me it seems that I have no special power, other than having an actual body, differently from other spirits."

"Aww man, just when I thought I could relate to you being weird, you turn out to be even freakier than i thought." She said, with a mocking pout. Elpys pouted before I went and hugged him.

"No need to be sad, just kidding. You are the most normal Greek spirit in the history of Greek spirits." He instantly calmed down before I pushed the hug away looking at his eyes as we both started laughing loudly. We were interrupted by a sound like horse hooves hitting the grass, getting louder every second. We both turned to see a really tall man with a big, giant, horse butt.

"Greetings! I'm Chiron, the activities director here at camp. You two must be Amber and Elpys, am I right? It's a pleasure to meet you both." The centaur said, with a huge grin on his face.

"The pleasure is ours Chiron, but how did you knew we were coming?" I said.

"Your mother visited the camp and spoke directly to me, telling me you two were coming. She never visited again though. Come on, I will show the camp to both of you." He said, before turning and starting to clop away. We followed him.

What I saw over the hill was beautiful. The camp was big. I could see a field of strawberries over to the left that looked really delicious. When we reached what seemed to be a big rustic mansion, Chiron stopped before facing us.

"This is the Big House, we use it for the council meetings and it also works as the camp's infirmary. Elpys, you may stay here if you want, or you can make home in the Hermes Cabin." Elpys nodded. After that we headed to the cabins where Chiron showed me Hestia's cabin, my new home. On the way there I noticed no one payed us much attention. Everyone seemed to be working on organizing what seemingly was going to be a huge party. When I asked Chiron about it, he mentioned the returning of two demigods he cared much about, Percy and Annabeth, who were big part of the reason the gods conquered victory over the giants in the Second Giant War. Elpys had told me about them and how they were really nice and generally really good people, and I trusted his word. I was already excited to meet them. When we finally reached my cabin, Elpys left with Chiron to settle in. He chose to stay in the Big House. I stayed behind to settle in myself. The Cabin had a rustic style, with columns of mahogany logs. The inside felt like the coziest place I ever entered. The air was fresh and had a forest scent. Directly opposite of the door, on the back wall, was a giant fireplace and the temperature was just cold enough so you could enjoy the heat from the fire perfectly. In front of the fireplace stood a red crimson couch in the form of an U. In the corners of the fireplace wall stood two red minibars. Nice, a girl in growth stage can always use snacks. I feel excited to meet new people here already. Maybe I should help with the party setups. That sounds like a good plan.
