Irene woke up. It was her daily route to do the same thing every day. Training, lunch, personal power training, dinner, sleep, then repeat. Her house arrest is still ongoing. It would later end this summer, where her next birthday would come up. She would be 16. She continued to talk to Bruce, but she didn't see him much, her mom visited her a lot though. But other than that, she couldn't really do anything.
On her birthday, Irene didn't know if she would have the freedom that she wanted. But she didn't know. Irene now that she is 16, can become one of the counselors for the camp council. But ever since last year, she couldn't leave the camp and she doesn't know if she can leave later.
Irene turns to see two new campers. After being approved, she has the ability to help other campers.
"Hello, my name is Irene Wright, Daughter of… Tartarus, Legacy of Apollo, I'll show you around," Irene says. "Who are you?"
"I'm Lavender, I don't know my parent, but I know it's some wind god," He says, he had a soft voice. "This is Luca, son of Khlionie. He doesn't talk much."
Irene showed Luca and Lavender around, she really liked Lavender, but Luca was too quiet and often looked at Irene with a murderous look, but she ignored it. She felt the ground shake and she looked down to see a hole pop open in front of her.
"What?" Irene asks.
A man pops out from it, he has black hair, pale skin, and red eyes.
"Father?" Irene asks.
"Yes, it's me. I came here to begin your quest," Tartarus says.
"My quest?"
"To form the Primordial council, to create a new godly government."
Irene remembered what the prophecy said, that the primordials will come back together. But she didn't know what to do, join her father, or not.
"I'll try, but I want to bring some demigods on this quest," Irene stated, she wasn't going to do this alone.
"Which demigods?"
"Luca and Lavender, but I also want…"
"Bruce Williams Jr, I'll get him for you, but in the meantime, why don't you take my chariot to the location I set for you and make sure that you are safe," Tartarus summons a chariot pulled by Hellhounds.
Irene, Luca, and Lavender got on it, and they travelled to a small mountain in Georgia. Irene spots Tartarus with Bruce. Bruce spots Irene and runs over and hugs her.
"Irene! It's been so long!" Bruce says. He got more handsome and muscular, but he really stayed the same.
"Bruce!" Irebe hugged him back, and she didn't care who was looking but she kissed Bruce on the lips deeply.
Bruce kissed her back, they really needed to have this talk.
"We should get inside, Zeus might be watching," Tartarus stated.
Tartarus waved his hand, the mountain revealed a door and they all walked inside. Tartarus showed Luca and Lavender to the armor room. Bruce and Irene walked into a room and sat down on a bed.
"We needed this talk," Irene stated, "for a long while now."
"Yes, Irene, I have been working in the fridge since last year, but when we stopped talking because I got so busy, but I have thought about you a lot. Very much."
"I have thought about you Bruce, my house arrest is so boring, it ended today, but I think it might begin again."
"It doesn't matter, I wanna be with you," Bruce says.
"You sure? Even if my dad is a literal dark pit?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter to me."
Irene and Bruce shared a kiss.
"Would you do the honor of being my girlfriend?"
"Yes! Yes! I don't know how it will work, but I really want to be with you!" Irene shouts. She jumps onto Bruce and kisses him. "We should go back out there, we do need to find each of the Primordials and begin our new council."
Bruce and Irene, walked into the meeting room and met Tartarus, Luca, and Lavender, who were in new armor. Tartarus waved his hands and gave Bruce orange colored armor and Irene black colored armor.
"Thanks...dad…" Irene tries to say. She still feels uncomfortable about meeting her father. She kinda talked to him sometimes since last year in her dreams, but it's not like he is the person to come to for help. But he doesn't seem that bad.
"This is the base where we will reform, but some Primordials won't join, but some will, here is a map where the Primordials are."
Tartarus gives Bruce and Irene a map and he gives Luca and Lavender a map too.
"Chaos is asleep, but the others are awake, even Gaia, she won't be happy to know that I had a demigod kid. Irene the map that I gave you goes to Pontus and Nyx. Luca, the map that I gave you leads to Gaia and Erebus," Tartarus. "Be safe Irene, I know I'm supposed to be evil, but you have changed my life."
Irene blushed and they started to leave to go to their quest. Irene went to find Nyx with Bruce, they easily found her in a nightclub. They found Pontus near a beach. Luca found Erebus, but when they found Gaia, she immediately kidnapped them. She messaged Irene in her dreams, telling her to go to a location.
"You can't go, she'll kill you! I won't lose you!" Bruce tells her.
"She'll hurt Luca and Lavender! I have to go!" Irene kisses Bruce. "Just stay here and help my dad and the others form the council, I'll deal with Gaia."
Irene left the cabin and went to the location Gaia told her for. She looked around the mountains and she saw an adult earthly woman with green hair.
"Irene Wright, my husband's bastard child," Gaia stated.
"Gaia, let them go," Irene stated.
"Ok," Gaia lets Luca and Lavender go. "I just want you."
Gaia attacks Irene, despite her being a full primordial, Irene kept up with her power.
"I know you hate me, but there are bigger things here!" Irene shouts.
Gaia slammed Irene to the ground, "Don't talk to me! He promised! He said he loved me! But instead he fell in love with someone else! He married me!"
Gaia stops attacking Irene and begins to cry, Irene didn't know what to do. Can she tell her that she is sorry for being born? She can't do that.
"I don't know what happened between you to, but I know one thing it's not my fault, you can't keep hurting people just because you can't get what you want, but you can change, you can do better, come with me," Irene stated.
Gaia stared at her evilly, but she grabbed her hand and helped up Luca and Lavender.
"I can't go and face him, I just can't, just go little demigod," Gaia turned away as Irene and the others left, with Irene feeling bad for Gaia.
The council formed, they brought up many different issues, including bringing more troubled demigods like Irene and Bruce.
The council meeting ended, Irene and Bruce decided to stay at camp with each other.
"Irene, can we talk?" Tartarus asks.
Irene nods at Bruce and he goes outside. Irene sat next to her dad at a table.
"The way that I met your mother was weird, she was someone who was a demigod, so I didn't fraternize with her, but I did. I went to the mortal world for the first time, but as it turned out, your mother was assigned to find the godly power that came out from, well me," Tartarus explains. "She was given a prophecy, she didn't know it's meaning until she gave birth to you, we were going to fall in love and make you, that was her quest."
"That's why Gaia is so mad at you, but why did you leave?" Irene asks.
"Your mother thought you needed to learn how to be human first, before meeting me, I'm sorry Irene," He stated.
"It's ok, the future can't be controlled, but I think I need a break with Bruce before we do any more action," Irene says while blushing. "Gaia is sad, but I think you know what to say and do to make her feel better,I'll see you later...dad…"
Irene leaves Tartarus and goes back to Camp, they decide to have dinner together before going to bed.
"I hope my dad does the right thing, I don't want him to get hurt," Irene stated as she ate her dinner.
"He'll be fine, but I promise for this year, I'll stay with you," Bruce says kissing her.
"Oh, hehe," Irene giggled. "I really hope this goes well."
"It will, it will," Bruce replies.
They then went to bed.
