It did not take long for the two to begin fighting. They fought over the stupidest things such as clothes, food, and even who slept on the bed. One year into the marriage, the two grew apart and began falling out of love. After a long day of fighting, Hypnos fell into a deep sleep. He snored so loud that it created a huge earthquake which destroyed the mountain Cybele had created. It caused a landslide which destroyed the middle of the mountain, created a large gap.
Hypnos eventually died to the lack of food and water. Cybele took advantage of the canyon and decided to add scenery to it.
