I tried to smile pleasantly, despite the fact that I was utterly confused. "You're Chiron" I guessed. He nodded.

"Come," he said, "I'll give you a tour of the camp." He led me over to a large group of small houses. They were all beautiful and different, and they all seemed kind of random.

"Do you know why I'm here?" I asked Chiron.

"Yes." He answered plainly. He didn't offer to tell me why.

"Good," I replied, "Because I don't."

"Anyway," he continued walking, "You'll be staying there." He pointed to the most wonderful of all the houses. It looked kind of new, like it had just been finished a month before. It was a small log cabin with a cute little bench out front.

"Stay?" I asked, confused, "Where am I, anyway?!"

"Because you, my dear, are a demigod. Well, sort of." He said.

"What?" I asked, "What's a demigod? And what do you mean, sort of?"

"Zenia, have you ever seen anything strange in your life? Something that you just can't figure out? Something that you know must be real, but it defies all odds?" He asked. This guy (or horse… whatever he was) was really confusing me.

"Well, now that you mention it… I guess I have see some weird things. Like giant dogs roaming the streets. And a few months ago, everyone fell asleep at the same time, like the just passed out. And there was some kind of battle in New York City… but I thought that was all a dream." I recalled.

"It wasn't a dream. That was a battle to save Olympus." He replied.

"Olympus? Like, the mythological city, Olympus?"

"Yes. It's right above the Empire State building- 600th floor."

"You're crazy. No, scratch that, I'm crazy. There is no way I am talking to a half-man-half-horse." I said. I was totally and utterly confused.

He smiled that 'been there, done that' smile. "Zenia, listen to me. The Greek gods are real. You're the daughter of Hestia; Goddess of the Hearth, and you will stay here until it is safe for you to leave. Now is a very hard time to be the child of a god. Now, your things have been packed. You will find them in your cabin." He gestured towards my quaint log cabin, and I went inside. It was cozy and warm. A fire blazed in the stone fireplace, and there were 4 beds: 2 sets of bunks. There were also four dressers, and one contained all of my clothes. I wondered how they got there.

I walked outside and looked around. Goat men were running around, playing various games. Some women were talking by the water- in fact, it looked like they were made of water! Girls emerged from trees and started running around, grins on their faces. One teenage girl was riding a beautiful white Pegasus. This place was like heaven on earth. I looked over at Chiron.

"This is your home now. You can choose to stay here all year, or you can just come here in the summer. But please, keep in mind: it is extremely dangerous in the real world, especially for a young woman like you. Consider my offer seriously." He said. My mouth hung open. "It's okay," he said, "You can sleep on it. There will be plenty of time to talk in the morning." The sun was setting on the horizon, and I had to admit, I was pretty tired.

"Thanks, Chiron." I said. I walked into the cabin and decided to leave the fire going when I changed into my pajamas and went to sleep.

Thanks for reading so far, everyone! I'll continue to add chapters, just saying thanks. Also, if you could leave a comment, I will love you forever! Seriously- every time I see someone leave a comment on one of my stories, it totally makes my day!
