Okay I forget to mention Its-Novel-mother fuckerz in the last chapter. Thanks for reviewing! And also thanks to lovethehungergames99 for adding me to your faves! Might as well add TheHolyMango in this thank you too.

Percy led me down to the pavilion. He briefly described parts of the camp, although I was wondering if this was all a dream. I really hoped it was. I stopped in front of a man in a wheelchair, with a scruffy beard. His eyes twinkled with humor. At least, I hoped it was humor. Next to him was a short, chubby man who reeked of alcohol. His eyes narrowed when he saw me, and he sighed in frustration as if I was just some piece of trash.

"Another one of those brats. Well, hello and all that, and welcome to Camp Half-blood."

I took that all in. It seemed normal, except for one thing. Camp half-blood? Was it a place for half aliens? Was it a camp for people who were half one country? Or were they just racist to pure bloods, because I was American, and I seriously do not want to be bullied because of that, maybe I should just leave-

"Halley?"

Percy was looking at me, concerned. I blushed because I realized they were talking to me.

"Um... What did you just say?"

"I said my name is Chiron, and this is the camp director, Mr. D." Chiron patiently repeated.

"Oh… I'm…" OH MY GOD I FORGOT MY NAME WAIT WHERE AM I WHY AM I HERE-

"Her name is Halley." Thank god for Percy coming to my rescue. I took deep breaths and cleared my thoughts.

"Um…Sir, why am I here?" I asked Chiron (what, who in their right mind would ask Mr. D something?).

"Ahh…"He started slowly, "That is always the question, isn't it. Well, I'll let Percy handle that. I'm here to tell you the basics. Well, you have passed the boundaries, so you are really a demigod-" A what? "-and you have defeated the Harpies. So I assume you know common Greek myths?"

This question surprised me. I half wasn't paying attention because he seemed to talk on and on but my ears perked up at this.

"You mean like the gods, the monsters, the Underworld, the Fields of Punishment, that kind of stuff?" The Greeks were a real happy bunch, weren't they?

"Yes. And what would you do if I told you this was real?"

I was going to laugh until I saw their serious faces.

"But… they're just myths!" I protested.

The chubby man- Mr. D- looked at me, annoyed.

"Demigods are so slow. I'm sure my father, the KING OF THE GODS, would not like to hear that."

His father was the king of the gods? Zeus and him? I racked my brain for pictures of Zeus, and they look nothing alike.

"So, you're Dionysus?" I asked.

Percy looked surprised, and I was afraid I guessed wrong, until he said-

"How did you guess so fast?" He asked me incredulously.

I snickered. Apparently someone wasn't as bright as he appeared.

"Well? Am I just a myth?" Dionysus asked.

I resisted the urge to say yes. After all, that would be bad for my first day, and I don't want to be a pile of ashes.

"So… If there are gods, what is a god doing in New York?"

Chiron seemed to contemplate how to answer.

"Well, you see, the gods move with the Heart of the West, otherwise known as the 'Western Civilization'-"

"What Chiron means to say is that the gods are here in America on the 600th floor of the Empire State building and that they move to places for some reason." Percy interrupted.

Well that helped dumb it up.

"But this will all be covered in the orientation film." Chiron stated.

He led me into the big farmhouse and into the living room. I sat on a blue bean bag chair and let myself relax. It was funny seeing Percy and Chiron try to set it up. When they finally did it, I was nearly asleep. They put the projector on and I made myself comfortable again and started to watch. It was actually pretty interesting. It showed a few pictures from each of the cabins and which cabin represented which god/goddess. It never really explained how you got sorted into a cabin. It only mentioned the major cabins, none of the other ones I briefly saw. The video also explained where Olympus was, and how it was there and stuff. I kind of zoned out at the end and was yawning by the time Chiron went and got the tape out.

"Well, that was… interesting?" I said.

Chiron chuckled and started to get out of his wheelchair.

"Wait, what-" I started to say, but was speechless.

He rose, putting four hooves that were attached to four horse legs that were attached to Chiron…

"Well, let's get going!" He said to me.
