Ifrit and Shiva were just the first in a series of soul kidnapping. What they didn't know was that the book Lady Hyne had been studying was directly responsible for their deaths. In the book was the recipe for everlasting life and Hyne would stop at nothing to achieve it.
The book stated that in order to achieve eternal life, one must capture fifteen souls in colored jewels. The souls that had to be captured were very specific and the book outlined all of them carefully. The fifteen souls were: the lovers, the drowned girl, the brothers, the lightning man, the whirlwind, the last unicorn, the demon, the water god, the guardian of Hell, the Holy machine, the runaway train, the dragon, the cactus and the light bearer. For each was a detailed description of what each soul must possess to meet the requirements for it's particular category.
After acquiring Shiva and Ifrit, Hyne went on a decade long hunt for the rest of the souls. Her next victim was the lightning man. Hyne traveled to a distant land where the people of a certain tribe channeled the elements through shamans. That is where Hyne found her next soul.

Quezacotl was a shaman of the Zequota tribe, his particular element being lightning. The annual Ceremony of the Elements was upon them and Quezacotl was ready. The ritual required him to stand in an open field and hold a metal rod into the sky during a lightning storm. If the lightning struck him, his time as a shaman had passed but if the lightning didn't strike him, it was assumed that he could still control his element and was allowed to continue as shaman.
The day of the ceremony came and Quezacotl did as instructed. The lightning struck all around him but never once hit him. As he was walking back to the tribe, the copper headdress he was wearing attracted a bold and he was struck dead. As the tribesman stood in shock, Hyne hurried to the body of the shaman and chanted the spell, capturing his soul in a green-yellow jewel.
