The quest for the last unicorn soul was by far the hardest and most time consuming of all the souls Hyne had to capture. The book stated that in order to acquire this soul, one must kill all the unicorns remaining in the world. Once the last unicorn was destroyed, the souls of the unicorns would collect in the carbuncle of the last unicorn.
Luckily for Hyne, previous attempts at achieving immortality had caused the unicorns to be hunted into near extinction. Even though there were but a few unicorns left, the quest took Hyne three years to complete. Hyne finally found the last unicorn and after a brief struggle, slew the magical beast. The beautiful white horse disintegrated into dust, leaving behind the ruby-red carbuncle. Hyne took the gem and added it to her growing collection of soul gems. After the three-year search, Hyne genuinely felt that she had earned this one.
