However, there were some effects of the change in how the tales were told on Persephone. For instance she couldn’t stay in the Underworld for longer than six months. She had to stay in the mortal realm to bring spring whilst carrying out her duties as Queen of the Underworld.

Initially she hated the arrangement. She despised the inconvenience it brought to her in having to juggle her responsibilities to the dead and living. Could she not perform her duties to both whilst she stayed in the realm of the shadows? But the mortal world grew on the Queen. As she walked through its forests and cities, she saw another side of the mortals she never knew. She forged her own persona amongst the living. 

A merchant by the name of Portgas D Rouge.

Rouge enjoyed the tales these mortals brought with them upon every lands she walked through. She feasted on their rich and diverse delicacies. True the ambrose of the gods fit whatever flavour she desired but it was a pleasant surprise to diversify her palette.

She enjoyed many of their earthly customs and questioned others (Mortals were odd). But she saw the darkness in them too. She witnessed the abuse and corruption, exploitation of power as they trampled over the weak. She could see the broken souls who had fallen before her throne after having been crushed by their oppressors, seeking refuge, peace and justice from the Underworld’s Queen. Rouge had seen their lives in the scrolls of life but to witness it first hand, to hear their cries and pleas...

Neither the Queen of the Underworld nor the Goddess of Spring could do nothing to interfere with mortal dealings. But Portgas D Rouge could. She had started out as a simple merchant who dealt with jewels and grew into a notorious liberator of the oppressed, silenced and damned. Bringing about her justice that measured beyond the system of the World Government and the Justice brought later by the Revolutionary Army.

She was a menacing angel with death at her arm striking fear in the hearts of all. 

As Fates would have it, Gods can not interfere with tidings brought by mortals. Major events that would shape the world that would happen- that must happen could be changed by the foolish goddess’s intervention.
