Chapter 3
Camp

The three of them walked to the top of the hill, pausing when they reached the top.

"Whoa. This place is ... amazing!" Sunset said softly, gazing out at the valley before them.

The skies were free of snow and the hills were grassy. There were buildings laid out in a horseshoe arc, with a dining pavilion and a blue and white manor. There was a lake, stables, climbing walls, archery butts and many other activities that looked to be fun.

"Is this camp?" She asked Annabeth, curiosity and amazement shining in her eyes.

"Yes. Now, come on in." The grey-eyed girl replied, walking down the hill.

"Who are your parents?" Percy asked Sunset, who glared at him. "What! You said you'd tell when we got to camp! This is camp! Now tell me!" He said, mischief shining in his face.

"Fine. It might get confusing though." She warned him.

He just grinned. "My girlfriend was born from a thought. I don't think you will be as confusing."

"OK. I have two mothers, and both are goddesses. Uhhh. Yeah. I don't know how I can explain that, but I'll try. So, you know that when I appeared, I was a pony? That's how I normally am, how I was born. My pony goddess mother is called Celestia, and is the pony who raises the sun where I come from. Sun-Mum" Percy snorted with laughter. "Shh, I know. Anyway, Sun-Mum told me that my other parent is a goddess too. Yeah, I don't know how that works out either. So I have two mothers, but since they are both goddesses, that shouldn't be a problem. Did you get that?"

"Uhh. I think so. Yeah ... I totally did understand. Don't look at me that way, I actually did! It was just a bit confusing." Percy said, holding his hands up in mock surrender as he walked with Sunset down the hill.

Annabeth had stopped and listened to Sunset's explanation of her parentage.

"Wait. Are you saying, you have the power of TWO goddesses!?" The grey-eyed girl asked in astonishment.

"Well, sort of, but not really. I guess, I'm only about twice as powerful as Twilight Sparkle, but that was in Equestria, and the magic levels are a bit lower, so, I think that her I have about the same amount of power as you do, Percy. Wait, why is it that Percy has more power than you Annabeth?" Sunset asked, curious.

"He's a child of the Big Three gods, the three that rule over the world. Zeus is God of the Sky, Poseidon God of the Sea and Hades is God of the Underworld." Annabeth explained.

"Huh. OK. I think that my level of power is equal to Percy's." Sunset concluded.

"Wait, how could you sense our levels of power? And how did you know that I have more power than Annabeth?" Percy asked inquisitively.

"Well, I cast a diagnosis spell on you. Diagnosis spells are usually used by doctors, to determine injuries or problems. I used a slightly different version, used by doctors who specialise in magic. The spell is capable of seeing magical pathways on ponies, determining the strength of a beings Core, and testing the amount of natural magic in the world." Sunset told him.

"When did you cast the spell?" Annabeth questioned Sunset.

"Once I became aware that the magic level in this world would let me, which was just after that bird thing, harpy you called it." Sunset replied.

"Well, you're in the camp boundaries, so I guess you are a demigod. I'll take you to meet Chiron. Coming Percy?" Annabeth asked, changing directions and breaking into a run, closely followed by Percy and Sunset.

The three ran towards the blue and white building at one end of the horse-shoe.

"OK, so this is the Big House. It has our meeting room and lots of other stuff. The Oracle used to be in the attic, but we got a new one, Rachel." Percy told her as the got to the verandah steps.

"I called my jacket Rachel. This one I'm wearing. I used to have another one, Heather, but she kinda broke." Sunset informed him as they climbed the steps.

The door opened and a centaur walked out. He had curly brown hair and his lower half was a white stallion. Sunset looked like she'd been punched.

"Chiron! Why are you here?" She exclaimed, clearly shocked.

"Sunset! But, that's impossible! Why are you here? Celestia promised ... " The poor stallion never finished as Sunset cut him off.

"You know what? I don't really care. That's just another secret Mum's been keeping from me. But, why couldn't you have told me before? And, by the way, it's Mum's fault I'm here. Hers and that stupid mirror." Sunset trailed off, looking at the ground, before lifting her head once more, gazing at him with rage filled eyes. "Why couldn't you have just told me? I thought you cared!" She exclaimed, the rage draining from her eyes, replaced with glossy tears. "Why didn't you just tell me?"

Chiron trotted closer, hugging the amber teen.

"I couldn't. You mothers made me promise. They wanted to tell you in their own time. I'm sorry Sunset, but they wouldn't let me. I tried, but every time it came up, I couldn't say it. I truly am sorry Sunset." Chiron said, holding her close as she sobbed into his shirt.

"What. Chiron, how do you know Sunset?" Percy asked, dumbfounded, Annabeth with a similar expression.

"Do you mind me telling Sunset?" The centaur asked the girl in his grasp. Sunset shook her head.

"It's fine."

"OK then. I used to visit her in Equestria, because technically I'm her great great great uncle. You see, my father, Kronos is also the father of Poseidon, and Poseidon *hem* got 'cuddly' with Demeter in the form of a horse. The fruits of that union were Arion, the fastest horse in the world, and Faust, the founder of Equestria and mother of Celestia, one of Sunset's mothers. So, I'm sort of her great great great uncle, but she calls me Uncle."

"It's easier." Came a small voice from the bright fiery mop of hair.

"Yes, it is. Anyway, I'd come and visit her and her mother in the Equestrian court, posing as an ambassador." He finished. "Are you feeling better Sunset?" He asked her quietly.

"Yes."

"Are you ready to come out now?"

"I think so." Sunset detached herself from her uncle, blushing hotly when she looked at Percy and Annabeth.

The pair exchanged grins before looking away.

"We won't tell anyone else." Annabeth assured her, resulting in a bigger blush from Sunset, a laugh from Chiron and a pout from Percy.

"What? I wasn't going to tell EVERYONE, just a few people, like Grover!" He exclaimed, laughing. "Let's show you around Camp then Sunset! I promise I won't tell."

"Are you sure?" Sunset asked, raising an eyebrow.

"YES! Sheesh!" He cried, holding his hands up.

And so, laughing the trio went to show Sunset around.

Author's Note

Yeah, about Chiron being her great great great uncle, it makes sense. Poseidon got cuddly with Demeter, (READ PJ'S GREEK GODS!) created Arion and Faust. From Faust came Celestia, so therefore, just using what I know, BAM! Instant family, heart-warming relationship and confidante WITHOUT resorting to OCs! Just, you know, twisting the mythos slightly.

YAY!

New chapter! This one was a bit easier, and definitely quicker!

Also, if you think that the story is a bit slow, and the chapters are too short, I'm just going to explain.

Although I have lots of ideas in my mind and your comments added a few more, I find it really hard to get them all out in a way I like, hence short chapters that I can get done in a reasonable amount of time.

Comments, feedback and criticism is invited.
