I have returned. I know I have been a little bit slow, but in return, here is a new story.

Immortality
Chapter 1
Hermes' POV
I was in my flying truck, listening to my caduceus, and delivering sea monster bait to Poseidon. When I arrived to the castle, my truck was in flying submarine mode. Poseidon looked dull. Duller than usual. Something was not right, and I had to figure out what.
"Poseidon, what troubles you?" I asked, holding 3 boxes of sea monster bait and a clipboard.
"Something is wrong." He said. "I can feel it."
"Sign here, please."
"What." Poseidon asked, caught off guard.
"Sign here." I repeated.
"Oh." He snatched up the pen and busily signed his name.
"Careful, I am quite fragile." Martha, the pen, told Poseidon.
"Yeah, I think you bruised me." George, the notepad, added.
My notepad transformed back to my caduceus, and I was off. I glanced back to see Poseidon on his feet, trying to reel in a 140 foot sea serpent. When I arrived on Olympus, I heard booming and screaming. So, I tried to run away, but I was pulled into the throne room. Athena and Ares were arguing about something useless.
"Hermes, since you are the god of thieves, you would know about jail escape, right?" Athena asked me.
"Yes, I know everything there is to know about jail escape." I replied.
"Well, Ares thinks that it would be a better strategy to bend the bars and run, while I know that it would be much safer to dig a hole in the floor."
"So, what do you want me to do about it?" I asked, obviously not interested.
"Which do you think makes more sense?" Ares asked.
"Athena's idea is better." I replied quickly.
"Why would you say that?" Ares asked, offended and angry. I wasn't afraid of Ares, so I answered calmly.
"Athena can read and write, and you cannot." I replied.
Ares was clearly fuming by now and was ready to solve his problems the way he usually does; beating someone up. Even though he wasn't the smartest god around, he was smart enough to know not to fight me and my caduceus, so he walked away. He was probably headed to Earth to take out his anger on his demigod daughter, Clarisse.
Ares' POV
Hermes makes me so mad. He thinks he is so powerful because he has two snakes wrapped around a golden stick. Anyways, I was headed to Long Beach Amusement Park to unleash my anger on a certain demigod. She was with her cabin-mates, eating and enjoying herself. I whispered in her head to come toward me. She did, but didn't seem surprised or scared of a god holding a 3- foot whip. She acted as if she already knew it was coming. I never understood demigods. I readied my whip when my hand was grabbed on to. I turned around slowly to come face to face with my father. He apologized to Clarisse and let her go. Then he bolted out of the amusement park with me.
Hermes' POV
The moments you share with other gods will last an eternity. Such as watching Ares get struck with lightning bolts from Zeus' "punishment pack." It is times like these that you must cherish.
"I feel a haiku coming on." Apollo stated. Zeus reached for another bolt, but Hera stopped him.
"Ares, god of war
Was struck with lightning by Zeus
Again and again"
He bowed, waiting for applause. He never received any. Suddenly, Zeus' voice boomed out.
"Something troubles Poseidon. We must figure out what evil lurks in the waters."
"It may have something to do with Gaea." Athena suggested.
"Demeter, are there any updates on the land?" Zeus asked.
"No, brother, I am afraid not."
All of a sudden, Poseidon appeared in a flash of blue light and a wave of sea water.
"There is a problem." He stated.
