[ TT ] Write a Wild West adaption of a Greek myth . ( Inspired by the original cowboy , the minotaur . )

D was strong, cunning, kind and proud. Most of all, D was a farmer. She had the greenest thumb the world has ever seen. She alone would provide food for the entire town from the farm where she lived with her beloved daughter, Persephone. 
 Persephone was beautiful, with her hair the colour of the wheat her mother tended so well. She was a carefree girl who would spend her days far from town collecting wildflowers. Out in the meadows, far from her mother's watchful eye, she caught the eye of another. 
 A man would watch the girl everyday and with each passing day he fell more and more in love with her. His love consumed him, until one day he knew he had to have her. 
 The next morning he waited until Persephone came to edges of where her flowers grew. He waited until she wondered towards the edge of the ravine he was hiding in and then and quickly overpowered her. He bound her hands and threw her onto the back of his horse. He fled down through the ravine, across a treacherous river that only few dared to cross to his home hidden in the shadow of a deep valley. 
 The sun began to set and D waited for her daughter to return. Hours passed and still Persephone was gone. D knew her daughter and knew that she would never stay out long past nightfall. D knew something must have happened to her. 
 Armed with torches, D set out to find her daughter, vowing not to return until she without her. For days and weeks D searched and with each passing day her crops withered and died. The town began to grow desperate as their food stores dwindled to nothing. Desperate and hungry, the townspeople begged their mayor to do something to get D to return. 
 So the mayor, who had heard about the strange man across the river, called his fastest rider and told him to bring the girl back to her mother. The rider, raced out of town over the river and up through the valley where he found the man with his new golden haired wife. The rider told them of D and her search and how he was to bring Persephone home. 
 The man, clever as he was, knew he had to agree. But first he offered his wife something for her to have along the journey back. She ate the pomegranate on the back of the rider's horse. They soon reached the river where D waited to take them both back home. 
 As Persephone crossed the river, she was stopped by her husband. She had willingly accepted what was his and thus had to remain by his side. Distraught D and her daughter struck a deal, Persephone would stay with her mother 9 months of the year and the other 3 she would spend in the valley with her husband. 
 The deal being made, Demeter and Persephone went home to the farm and tended it back to life. 
 Each year, on the night of the harvest, Persephone would return to Hades and Demeter would not grow a single thing.
