In Canterlot Castle (Nighttime)
Celestia was eating her dinner as Luna came in the dining room. “Celly… how is the day going with The Pillars?” Asked Luna.

“They’re still demanding Amelia for the location of Xiku & their son. We haven’t told them about Xiku’s passing & who’s protecting their child.” Said Celestia.

“It's better, we don’t tell them. I doubt they’ll listen to reason about a large spider with both power in strength & magic that is protecting Azo and wish to retaliate against them for destroying a family.” Said Luna as she looked at her sister. “Also, have you research the Zanma Labyrinth in any of the records?” She asked.

“I have. I found it in Starswirl’s private studies in his journal that was locked in his safe which he never hid better than behind a portrait of himself.” Said Celestia in an annoyed tone.

“Obviously. So where in Equestria is this Zanma Labyrinth?” Asked Luna as Celestia shook her head.

“No Lulu. The Zanma Labyrinth is located at the Island Nation of the Malicious Archipelago.” Luna was shocked.

“The Malicious Archipelago?! I heard of it through his stories while traveling beyond Equestria. A soldier told me the true story of the Pillars’ experience in the nation. Starswirl tried to change their ways, the island inhabitants live their lives in hunting monsters & exploring underground mazes filled with rich resources unknown to Equestria. He & the pillars were introduce to an organization of multitude buildings all over the island called ‘Guilds’ & learn about some residents join these guilds to collect food and slay any threats to small villages, towns and homes while growing in strength, knowledge & bravery to protect not only themselves but their love ones. Starswirl was a bit upset but jealous that they can access spells & magic that are unknown to Equestria doesn’t give away easily. He decided to enforce Equestrian laws to them, but they retaliated with their own strength; powerful creatures that are called ‘Guild Masters’ gather and overcome the Pillars. Starswirl was defeated by a creature called a Dark Orc by her strength & skills against his magic. Humiliated by defeat, he ban any travel & trade to them, but the young soldier told me of some ponies secretly move there because of empty promises by The Pillars & us.” Said Luna as Celestia looked depressed.

“I’ve secretly believe the Canterlot Council is embezzling the funds we sent to victim villages & towns.” Luna looked furious as her pupils turned to a quick aqua color & back.

“I swear that stubborn old stallion had never learned to respect somepony stronger than him or respect their ways and culture.” She said as she noticed the stone bone. “Hmmm… I thought Amelia was holding on to that bone?”

“She did but before we could leave, she told me to notice her son has her late husband’s ring in his mouth.” Said Celestia. “She entrusted it to us and notified her on any progress on her son and the one called Skills the Spider.” Luna looked at it and used her telekinesis on it.

“Perhaps… I could observe the young colt & spider. To make sure he doesn’t eat him.” Said Luna as Celestia nodded.

“Good night Lulu.”

“Good night Celly.” Said Luna as she left Celestia’s room & headed to her room to view the child & spider. “Who is Skills the Spider?” Wonder Luna as she used the same spell to view Azo.

Zanma Labyrinth
Skills was practicing his new skills that Xiku gave him. (“Okay… flying is not easy. It’s connected to my SP & its 2 separate things. My does help me using my new powers; Lust maintains my connections to my lovers, Wisdom helps create & focus me with new magic, Pride focuses on defense & Gluttony heals my HP, MP & SP when I eat. There are 4 more sins that I might learn by accident; Greed, Envy, Sloth & Wrath. I’m pissed at those Pillars for their foolishness, but they must be primitive minded. Like those stupid Salem fools who burn innocent lives who got tied to a stake. It would make sense if a version of my wrath will be a Parallel Will.”) Skills turned to Azo who was sleeping. (“*sigh* If the Pillars can’t listen to reason…”) “Those princesses… I wonder if they have a brain & common sense than those heroes?” Skills focus flapping his wings as he was an inch above the ground as he put himself in a meditated pose as he practiced his magical wings & checking his stats.

Skills Stats:

(“Hmmm… I’m good but the new skills got me curious. So what are these new skills can do? Except for since I create wings from magic.”)

The scales of a Wyvern form a barrier on the user’s body to add extra defense to physical attacks that make contact. Unable to activate when making contact to magical attacks. Will repel damage if the user's defense is higher than the enemy attack.

(“Okay, so if I get chomp, slash or tongue slammed; the scale barrier will appear & protect me while repelling the attacks. This is awesome! So what’s the other skill can do”)

A unique ability that has never existed before. This skill can snatch a skill from an enemy target. The steal rate will rise when it level up. This skill cannot retrieve the same skill the user collected or choose the skill the user wants to collect. A skill will be collected if the user steals from the target.

“This skill is OP. I’m surprised it didn’t raise the skill, not that I’m complaining. I don’t think any of the monsters on this floor would try to stab or crush me.” Said Skills as he turned to Azo who was still sleeping. (“That kid… I wonder why Xiku asked me to give him a mercy death. Is it possible that Xiku’s own species wanted his own son dead too?!”) Skills crawled to Azo as he was sleeping. “I see the kid as my own god child. I want him to have a future, to live life, to find love and have kids of his own.” Skills looked around & closed his eyes. “Focus… Through the Skill, I shall cast magic without creating a sound.” Said Skills as a phantom projection of Skills’ Wisdom aided him in the magic as the earth form a tower where Azo & Skills was standing as they reach the ceiling of the floor & manage to create magic circles on the stone tower as they vanish from sight. “Well, time to be lazy. For once in my spider life.” Said Skills as he relaxed & headed for the dreamtime.

“Whatever. Good night, kid.” Said Skills as he shut his eyes.

Luna who was watching, found a way to see the Spider called Skills. “He’s sleeping! Perhaps this is the chance for me to meet the Spider protecting Amelia’s child.” Said Luna as she relaxes herself in her bed as she enters the Dream Realm. Luna manages to locate Skills’ & Azo’s Dreams as she senses something odd about Skills’ dream; there was nothing in it. “This is odd. Well, the spider creature hasn’t seen the land above him.” She said as a massive net captured her. “What the?!” She yelled as 4 different versions of Skills the Spider dropped from above.

“Who the hell is this… pony?” Said Pride curiously.

“I don’t know?” Said Lust “but it cannot be from Mother.”

“I agree.” Said Gluttony “Mother would have eaten her & have no memories of her meals. What do you think, Wisdom?” He asked as Wisdom examined Luna “Wisdom?”

“This mare… she is a different creature. Not native to this island nation, perhaps she is an Alicorn that Xiku told Main about.” Said Wisdom as he freed Luna from the spiderweb net “I apologize for the trap; Mother has been trying to control Skills’ body but I’m getting ahead of myself. We should introduce ourselves to royalty.” Said Wisdom as he bowed in respect “We are the Parallel Wills of Skills the Spider; I am Wisdom.”

“We are 3 of his 7 deadly sins.” Said Pride.

“Don’t ask where the other sins are because Main is getting worried by that skill.” Said Lust.

“So… who are you & why and how are you here in Main's mind?” Asked Gluttony. Luna looked at the and cleared her throat.

“We are Princess Luna, Alicorn of the night & riser of the moon.” Explained Luna as Lust looked confused.

“We? There’s only one of you!” Said Lust.

“It’s a royal thing.” Said Wisdom. “It's used by leaders of cities, kingdoms or nations.”

“Oh…" Said the other spiders as they created silk beanbags for them and Lunar.

“Please explain why you are in Main Skills’ mind?” Asked Gluttony as Luna showed the reason with her magic.

“My sister & we have met Azo's mother & we both wish to aid get to reunite her son. We also use a spell to watch her son & learn the fate of her husband.” Said Luna as the Spiders bumped nervously.

“You said you, your sister and Azo's mother were watching Azo with us, right? Xiku asked Main for a mercy death.” Said Lust.

“Main Skills wanted to save Xiku, but he wanted to die!” Said Wisdom” Main Skills wonder why he asked to be killed? He wonders if Xiku's species wanted him dead because of his hybrid child but Main Skills will protect Azo & reunited him with his mother. Plus beat up your stupid heroes for their bullshit.

“No offense but no trail & no evidence is an example of a corrupted law & order.”

“We understand. We allow a family to suffer for our justice.” Said Luna sadly “We hope you’ll allow him to bring him to his mother.” Asked Luna as they nodded in agreement.

“We shall.” Said Pride.

“We see him as our god child & we want him to have a future.” Said Wisdom.

“And find love.” Said Lust.

“And have a family of his own.” Said Gluttony as Luna smiled.

“I am grateful for that.” Said Luna as she heard a monstrous screech the group turn in shock “What was that?!”

“LEAVE!!!” Screamed Pride as Luna witnessed a giant size monstrous spider in the form of black smog was trying to burst through a barrier as Pride, Lust, Gluttony & Wisdom tried to prevent the barrier from shattering.

“It’s our Mother!!” Yelled Wisdom “When we were born; our mother gave us birth, but she allowed her kids to kill and eat each other as she even ate her own babies!! We even discover that she can control her children who have low intelligence or are unconscious!! She had Main Skills slaughter a lot of monsters without mercy!! Leave before she’ll discover where you live while we hold her back from controlling Skills’ mind!!” Yelled Wisdom as Luna nodded and escaped in a hurry. The 4 Parallel Wills prevented Mother from entering Skills’ mind. Wisdom turned around to see 2 orbs forming new Skills; one of the silhouettes was wearing a 10-gallon pith helmet and the other silhouette was wearing a Heavy Knight’s Armor.

Skills opened his eyes to Azo hugging him as Skills smiled.

“Whatever.” Said Skills as he ignored the monsters were being pierced and blown up by the traps. Skills shut his eyes as he quickly made a non-stick spider silk earmuffs to drown out the noise.

Author's Note

That's right. 2 new wills are being made because of Skills' kindness for Azo. He and Azo will be a deadly duo until Skills returns him to his mother. Leave a comment if you like it or have questions, enjoy your day and here's Skills' Stats: https://1drv.ms/w/s!AgKB-v3f46en4Ut8jAd4Z5CcVpFG
