Hermes Greek Identity
The Identity Stealer

Once upon a time, in the far off land of Greece, Hermes, the god of thieves, was teaching his son, Reed, who was a demigod, to steal or “borrow” as he liked to call it. Reed was built like a wall, he was tall, strong, and the could blind people with his smile. Reed had just stolen the most valuable thing so far. he had stolen the trident of Poseidon, the god of the sea. When Poseidon found out he was angry, but Reed had returned it to him without a hesitation. Hermes was so proud of him and thought that there training had ended for that day but Reed had a different idea. Hermes was one of the weaker gods, and Hermes had trained Reed so well, when he wasn’t paying attention, Reed was able to throw Hermes to the ground

Since Reed looked like so much like Hermes, he dressed up as him and headed off to Olympus.

When Reed got to Olympus, he danced around thinking that he had gotten rid of his father. The first thing to do he thought to himself is to find Zeus and tell him to make me a god. So he set off to find Zeus. When he finally found him, he said, “Zeus! I demand you to make Reed a god!” Zeus knew that this really wasn’t Hermes, but he decided to have some fun with it. Zeus finally agReed and told Reed to follow him.

Zeus led Reed into a room and in that room, there was a single stone. That stone was made of graphene, the strongest material in the world. Zeus said, “in order to make Reed a god, you will have to break that stone with your bare hands, into one million pieces!” Reed looked at him in horror. “One million?” Reed replied in a shaky voice. “One million!” Zeus said finally with a smirk. Reed walked over to the stone and started banging it on the ground. While he was doing that, Zeus closed the door, locked it, and went off to find to real Hermes. He finally found him being beaten up by Artemis. He told him what had happened to Reed. he also told him that he had thrown the key off Mt. Olympus so he wouldn’t be returning anytime soon. So never steal another god’s identity, because Zeus is always smarter than he
