Your myth retold #9

I am Demeter the goddess of grain, harvest and fertility in general. I am responsible for making the crops bloom every year. I have one daughter. Her daughters name is  Persephone. She is the goddess of spring. Her father is Zeus. He is the god of the sky and the ruler of Olympian gods. One day I realized something was different. I went to look for her daughter Persephone, but could not find her. I searched day and night. I went all over the world to find my daughter, but still could not find her. Months went by without finding my daughter. I became very depressed. Soon none of the crops grew. I did not feel like making the crops grow every day. I stopped looking and started to give up. But one day I went out on a walk, and found a lead. I found a hole to the underworld. I never have been down to the underworld before. But i was very desperate to find my daughter. So I went down, I was very nervous. I got down there and there and started to walk around. I went to Hades palace. I walked through the front door and found Hades. I asked him if he has see my daughter. He respond. "Yes I have, do you want to see her?". I cant believe he has her. I feel so relieved. He brought her out. I was so happy to see was alive and healthy. It turns out Hades had abducted her and married her. She is no longer mine. I told Hades how depressed I was. So we worked out a deal. I get to see her 4 moths out of the year, while she is with me she is the goddess of spring. But the rest of the 8 months I don't have her she returns back to the underworld and the Queen of the underworld.
