Life went on for a century. Many children were produced by the Offspring, as they interbred. Sinope and Callisto kept to themselves, watching their loving creations grow and multiply. There was no stigma about inter-breeding, for all were related anyhow. Sinope, however, refused to take another lover. Anake, who found his mother very fetching and her refusal to sleep with him vexing, plotted secretly and killed her one night as she slept. Callisto was out on a hunting trip with Ledo, Pasiphae, and Himalia at the time. Carme, upon stumbling onto his dead mother, cried out in dismay and quickly got Lysithea to gather the other Offspring while he went to bring back Callisto and the rest of the hunting party. Despite this, Anake almost got away with it, except that Maya herself came down and informed them that it was he, Anake, who had betrayed the mother of Humanity and killed her.

This announcement by Maya caused great outrage in Ceylon. Callisto sequestered himself, for he was too broken with grief to think of revenge or justice. Carme, Elara, Ledo and Himalia all counciled banishment from Ceylon for Anake. Pasiphae, the most beautiful and caring of them all, could not bear the thought of never seeing her brother again, but did not support him for she understood the rage the others felt. Only Lysithea would support her brother, arguing that they had all agreed never to seek domination over the others, and Anake had not technically broken that agreement since Callisto and Sinope were not part of it. The majority of the Offspring would not hear of it though, so outraged were they at the death of their mother, who was the most perfect human in history. All later humans are merely shades of their dead mother. Anake was banished and to the sorrow of the rest of the Offspring, Lysithea decided to go with him, for she and her brother had always been closest.
