Annabeth, Percy, and Nico lead me into the Big House. And yes, it is really a big house, not the jail type. But it's just a big house, like there was a living room, a kitchen, and so on. It looked beautiful on the outside, but on the inside. It was gorgeous, there were ripe, grape vines growing up the walls. I'm not sure how that's possible, but I've seen weirder things today that vines growing in odd places. To the left was a old, red oak fire place. Above it was a painting of the 12 Olympians, even Hades was included. Since this was a camp for their children, I imagined that was what they truly looked like. They were all beautiful and handsome. Even Hephaestus.

To the right was a window, and like the fire place, the rims were red oak. There were white cotton curtains dancing around little breezes that came threw the small opening. The floors were again old, worn, red oak. On the walls there was paintings and weapons. I saw some swords, not many. They looked to be about 4 or 5 feet long. They were beautiful to say the least. On one of the tables, was a dagger. The handle was wooden rapped in old leather, giving it a old look. I noticed that all the weapons, like Percy and Annabeth's, were bronze. If you were going to fight something, why not just use steel? I made a mental note to ask them. But I also noticed the dangling from Nico's slim waist was a sword. But it wasn't bronze. It was black, but not the black like on a colored pencil. It was a dark black, that looked at you, as if it was holding all your fears, and it had the power to set them free. So that they could haunt you forever. Again, I made a mental note to ask Nico about that.

In the middle of the room was an old, red oak, wooden desk. There was a black leather chair. But the chair didn't catch my attention, the old man in it did. He looked about 50, but he also looked ageless. With his black, skruffy hair in patches on his head, and rosey cheeks, he looked like a Santa returning from the bar. Come to think of it, he has a wine glass next to him.

"Atalanta, meet Dionysus, or Mr.D, God of Wine, and one of camp leaders," Annabeth said after I caught sight of him. I bowed my head in a respectful way, while Percy and Nico rolled their eyes. I looked at Annabeth and raised an eyebrow. She gave me the I-will-tell-you-later look. I just genitally nodded my head in understanding.

"Atalanta?" Mr.D said with surprise in his voice.

"Yes sir," I told him.

"I met your namesake once, of coarse I was really mentioned in the story of her. But I met her. Personally, I think Aphrodite should've stayed out of the race, but whatever," he said while rolling his eyes. I wasn't sure how to repond to that, so I just just smiled and nodded my head like a moron.

"We wanted to introduce her to you, Chiron already met her back in the mortal world," Annabeth explained. I noticed Annabeth did most of the talking, Percy was looked around for something to do while tapping his foot, and Nico was looking at Dionysus, but sneaking glances at me. Annabeth went on talking with the God of Wine, with me and Nico watching them. We kept glancing at each other. At one point we looked at the same time. I looked into his eyes, and once again, saw all the pain, secrets, and grief in them. I then also noticed they were nearly the same color as his sword. They held fear and terror, but not his. Any monster that came his way's fear and terror.

His jet black hair and pale olive skin made him look good. His black shirt with its pearl white skull on it made him look like a bad boy. Below that was his ripped dark, midnight blue jeans. He has an old silver chain on his belt loop on the opposite side to the sword. On his feet were were black converse. They clearly weren't brand new, but nether were mine. I didn't understand why people needed a hundred pairs of shoes. You only have two feet, plus they ain't cheap, it's idiotic.

"-no known parent," Annabeth finishes snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Is this true?" Mr.D asked.

"Yes, they found me in an adoption center." Mr.D looked surprised by this.

"I need to make a call, Anniebell, show her to the Hermes cabin for now. Also show her around the camp some more. I want you three to train her," Mr.D ordered ,"Now leave." I followed Annabeth out the door with Percy and Nico on my tail we made it out of the Big House.

"So, we're gonna show you to the Hermes cabin, which you will be staying at until you find out your real parent," Annabeth explained. I just nodded my head once and followed her while taking everything in. We walked past the strawberry fields and over a small worn bridge taking us over the river. The river was full of thousands of gallons of clear water. The water rushed under the bridge. It was fast enough to move you, but not to the point it would carry your sorry ass off. It looked beautiful, the little silver fish were swimming around without a care in the world. There were even a few nymphs in the crystal clear water, waving at us while jumping out of the water.

Once we got onto the other side I saw the stables. The wood was worn and in someone places there were vines or moss growing on it. It still managed to look good though. Wait, scratch that, it look beautiful. It had that timeless beauty that old houses get. The ones that are well taken care of, and weren't worn to hell. I could see pegasus running and flying around with campers on their backs. It was a beautiful sight to see the gracefulness in the speed.

"Where are we going?" I asked after a minute or two of silence.

"Well, we are going to show you around camp, then to the Hermes cabin like Mr.D said. I think you'll love it though, so don't worry," Annabeth said sensing my nerves.
