"I suppose I should get to know the teachers before I get my Pegasus." Chaotic still didn't understand how any of this could be real. Monsters and Gods and her being the daughter of Artemis. She shook her head slightly. "When do I start?"

Althaia listened to her, silent, and shrugged at the question. "The moment you passed through the border into this camp was already taking the first step. I'm not the camp director or anything, but he gives new demigods the first day off. In order to take things in. So I would say, you start tomorrow." She stretched a little and smiled at her sister, placing one hand on her shoulder and studying her for a moment. "You'll need to be fitted for armor before any real training can begin. And you'll need weapons. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood.. Sister."

"Thanks...So I stay with you?" She looked up at the sky. "This is strange...Yet oddly it feels right like I should be here."

"Yeah, we have the cabin all to ourselves." Althaia muttered with a nod. She smiled and hugged her gently before pulling away again. "Well, this is like a second home to most demigods. And for some, their only home." She glanced away, gaining a nudge from the Pegasus still standing near her. A small smile lit her face as she glanced at Tartarus.

"Seems like it will be my only home now... Since they did that to my dad..." She cringed at the memory and pushed back the tears threatening to bubble up again. "Uhm what are we doing today?"

Althaia nodded slowly, her mind wandering as Chaotic mentioned her father again. Hugging her sister gently before pulling away again, she shrugged. "Today you just look around, I suppose. Get familiar with the camp. Could always get some weapons or armor, if you'd like to get that out of the way."

"I suppose..." She looked down. "He really is gone isn't he...? This isn't just some bad dream I'll wake up from?"

Althaia frowned slightly, "Well I've never even had a family, myself. A satyr brought me here when I was just a baby. After Artemis had given birth to me" She paused, and sighed, looking at Chaotic. "I'm sorry for what happened."

Chaotic broke. She fell to her knees, her body raking with sobs. She held her face in her hands but it wasn't enough to stop the tears from hitting the ground. She just sat there and cried, reliving memories of her and her father.

Althaia frowned and got down beside her, pulling the girl into her arms. "Chaotic I'm sorry, I am really and truly sorry that this happened. But we're family now. And I'm here." She held her sister lightly against her, trying to comfort and calm her.

"My dad was all I ever had...And now he's gone..." Her body shook with sobs.

Althaia frowned, "At least you had somebody. Really all you can do now is train. So the same thing doesn't happen to you." She had never really wanted to be close to anyone before, but she was going to be seeing Chaotic a lot around the cabin now, anyway. And she knew what it was like, to feel alone.

She nodded softly. "Yeah..." She sighed.

Althaia sighed softly and hugged her a bit tighter. "It'll be okay. I'll help you in any way I can." She muttered, pulling back slightly to look at her for a moment. "Alright?"

She nodded. "Me and you against the world right?" Chaotic laughed softly.

Althaia chuckled and nodded slowly, "Yep."

She smiled a little and wiped her eyes. "I'm going to go explore for now. I'll be back for dinner alright?"

Althaia nodded slightly, shrugging as she moved away. "See you then, I guess.."

She kissed her sisters cheek and walked off to explore her new home.
