"Well it looks like our time is up." Dr. Wolf said as he placed his note pad and quill down.

"Alright...thanks again doctor." Twilight said a little nervously as she stood up from the couch.

"I know it will take time to get over what happened but I'm still your friend and I'm not quitting on you." Dr. Wolf assured getting a smile from Twilight. Twilight inched a little closer wanting to give him a hug but thought it might be too soon and instead turned to leave the room Celestia gave Dr. Wolf here in the palace now that Dr. Wolf has moved out of the tree house.

"Well I'm feeling much better. I haven't felt the need to study anything by taking it apart since-" Twilight said as she opened the door but stopped when she saw a giant, floating monster head with one big eye in front and several eye stocks coming out of the top of its head. A few of the eye stocks looked down at her curiously but otherwise it just kept floating down the hall. Twilight slowly blinked a few times before closing the door and walking back to the couch.

"So... Shall we pick up where we left off?" Twilight asked as soon as she was laying down getting a confused look from her displaced shrink.

"Aunty?...AUNTY!"

"Hmm?" I ask as I look up from my book to see my girls with an annoyed look on their faces.

"Will you put that book down already?" Celestia asked.

"Just one more page." I say as I look back down but my head was quickly enveloped in a blue aura which forced me to look back up at them.

"That is what thou said for the last page. And the page before that and the page before that!" Luna said. With great reluctance I put my book mark in, close my book, and set it in a protective barrier before I start making my plate.

"I'm sorry. It's just that with my title of goddess of forbidden and lost knowledge I've been getting offerings of one of a kind or at least rare tomes and I'm so excited about it. This one has a complete list of all known kinds of golems and how they're made. You know how I've always wanted to build golems." I say before I start to chow down.

"What happened to darkness?" Celestia asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm still worshiped as a goddess of darkness but a few new domains have been forced onto me during my drunken road trip." I say as I summon the list and float it over to Celestia who starts reading it.

"Darkness, pranks, games, undeath, forbidden knowledge, lost knowledge, monsters, dark heroes." Celestia read aloud but stopped to look closer with squinting eyes. "Elevator buttons? How does one become the goddess of elevator buttons?"

"I have no idea. And I'm too embarrassed to ask the ones that worship me as such or why they are even worshiping a goddess of elevator buttons to begin with." I say in a bewildered tone. "I did ask Trixie who was with me but she just started laughing so hard at the memory that she fell on the ground and started crying. Strangely no one is worshiping my as a goddess of drinking. You would think with all of the other aspects they have forced on me that would be one considering how they've heard of me."

"I...see." Celestia said with a look of confusion before dropping the subject. "Can I borrow that when you're done? The new trainer is doing a superb job but having a few heavy hitters like golems would make useful additions to the royal guard."

"You can. but you can't copy the book. I don't think you would do it anyways." I say after taking a drink getting a questioning look from my girls. "Golems are animated and able to follow orders by a spell that summons, enslaves and binds an elemental spirit to it. I don't like the idea of forcing anything to be a slave. All that work for me do so of their own free will save for the ones that have no will at all. There are some in here I can make without that spell by substituting necromancy like the flush golem or this bone golem. I can even make it so they can follow simple orders now thanks to the reanimation spell I got from that lich but only if I use the brain of a sentient being for the flesh golem or the skull of one to act as a brain for the bone golem. All it would take is an onyx each. The only thing in this book I can animate this way that isn't made of dead body parts or souls is something called a corpse gatherer and to be fair that is made by animating a graveyard. I can't use ghost on ones not made from dead body parts because the instructions warn they would go mad and I tried substituting the shadows I know how to create but..."

At my words I summoned the animated armor I created. Celestia and Luna focused on the construct immediately as it marched forward. Its sword and shield held gallantly in front of it as it patrolled the area in search of intruders.

"It's so cute!" Luna gushed at the golem no bigger than one of those plastic army men toys as it secured the mashed potatoes.

"That's as big as I can make one animated through a magically created shadow. The shadow is so weak that making the golem any bigger would make it incapable of moving." I say with a sigh.

"Still I can enter the realm of fire so I can try to employ some elementals and Luna can try dream spirits." Celestia said aloud with a thoughtful look on her face.

"If you feel you can convince them to take a job where they are bound to a construct then go ahead." I say with a shrug as I wipe myself clean with a napkin. "Oh, I should also probably mention this new minion I got recently. He is quite the character." I say with a nervous smile.

Flashback.

I just peed myself a little. I thought to myself. I have been dreading this meeting as the line moved forward and I was horrified that I did indeed see a beholder in line to see me. A fact that baffles me to no ends as everything I know about beholders shows them as being extremely xenophobic to the point that they would kill their own kind just for having the slightest difference and even if two that looked and thought exactly alike were to meet their arrogance would keep them from seeing eye to eye. But here one floated. The bane of many adventure parties in the flesh floating in front of me. Please don't anti-magic me please don't anti-magic me please don... wait what?

"You, want a job?" I ask to see if I heard what he said correctly. When I got a nod for an answers I just have to ask. "Why?"

"Because I want to be an adventurer." The beholder proclaimed. "I am not like my kin who wishes to destroy everything just because it is different. I am far superior to all of those little people who suffer so I want to use my intellect and power to help them."

"So you're like a radical thinker? One of those minds that deviate from the path and reach for greater heights?" I ask which causes that disturbingly sharp smile to grow even wider.

"Yes! Finally someone gets it! All of those other beholders foolishly squabble over their petty differences and waste their potential. Not to mention their arrogance. All of them think that they are the best beholder. That they are the smartest, strongest and best looking when clearly that is me! They just refuse to see the truth." The beholder said. Okay so he's still got that beholder arrogance. I thought to myself with a sweat drop.

"Anyways when I tried to become an adventurer I was always rejected. Or run away from or attacked. So I thought about it and realized what I was missing that the other adventurers had. A god! They had a good aligned god or goddess to worship and the beholder gods would never approve of a hero beholder. Not even Bill Cipher and he loves it when we act different!" Ignoring that Bill statement I don't think that's how it works... "I was going to just charm a guild into letting me join, for the greater good, but then you came along. A dark goddess that used the undead which are widely accepted as evil to do heroic things and made friends with light gods!" Wait I did what now? "You're perfect for me! Now I can be a hero! And with your reputation as my goddess I can get into a guild and no one will question it because everyone knows about you! You drew a lot of attention running all over the place like you did." Joy.

"Well I like your drive to do better Mr."

"Bo'lapityflopflop." The beholder proudly proclaimed. Not even giving me a chance to give a questioning tone. "But I would like it if you weren't liberal with my name."

"Right. I'll just call you Bob then." I say with a smile.

"You won't regret this! I already have one advantage that puts me above other adventurers!" Bob said out loud. "I have no knees!" Bob proudly proclaimed. ...I'm not sure if that was meant to be a joke or not but I think an arrow to the eye would be more of a concern for this guy.

"Alright. Is their any kind of environment you would like in your bed chamber?" I ask.

"Eyes!" He shouted out excitedly.

"Okay then. Your room will have a scavenger area lining the walls so giant eye-stocks will grow out of the floor." I say as I lift a paw to shake which he responds to by giving me an eye from the top of his head to shake. With the deal sealed the connection was made I sent Bob to his room to get settled. Out of curiosity I look in on the large room I gave him to see what the lair in the middle of the room full of eyes would produce. Bob was just floating there looking into one of the giant eyeballs. Looks like he already knows the eyeballs are for scrying. Looking to the middle of the room I see a giant fleshy hole with eyeball lining. Itch scratched I check in on what Bob is spying on to see a guild hall only for it to shift to another one.

Coming back to the room I take in a deep breath. "Well...that just happened."

End flashback.

I wait a short while after telling them about my new employee but the first thing that was said was not what I was expecting.

"Thou hast peed on the royal cushion!?" Luna demanded.

"...That's what you get from that story?" I ask with a deadpan.

"Thy tooshie is not the only one that seat must bear!" Luna proclaimed.

"Look I cleaned myself up and had the cushion changed out for a fresh one before seeing the next guy in line okay?" I asked.

"I'm not sure I understand this Bob's logic." Celestia cut in.

"He's a beholder. That would be like trying to understand Pinkie Pie's logic." I say with a shrug. "The point is some problems may arise from him being here and I thought you would like a heads up."

"Aunty we have given you more freedom and trust than anypony else during our rule. We even let you keep that thing that possessed Luna. And as much as I don't like some of the creatures you chose to keep around you have an amazing talent for keeping them under control and keeping them happy while doing it. Though it is a little concerning that this is the first time you've felt the need to warn us that you have a new minion I think I speak for both of us when I say we trust you on this." Celestia said dismissively.

"Indeed! Now we can discuss more pleasant things. Rejoice dear sister for we have invented a new recipe for cake!" Luna proclaimed. The look of horror on Celestia's face will forever be burned into my memory. And my scrap books. 'Flash' Just as Celestia came back to her seances and started desperately trying to think up excuses to save herself a day guard burst into the room.

"Your majesties! There is a problem outside. We've tried dealing with it but we require assistance." The guard said with a look of concern.

"What is it?" Celestia asked as she literally jumped at the opportunity landing right in front of the guard.

"They tried to get into the palace but we told them the times your majesties take court and now they're all over the city! Causing panics and uproars!" He said as he gestured to a window which we all went to. The first thing to draw our attention was an adult dragoness with purple scales sitting in the park talking with Twilight as Twilight flew over their heads...wait. I look all over the city and while there were people like the ones in line last time there were also plenty of Twilight's. Dragon Twilight, pony Twilights, boy Twilights, girl Twilights, anthro Twilights, humane Twilights.

"So many Twilights." I say with wide eyes as the list of different Twilights grew.

"Oh! Now we can have our own student! And so many to choose from." Luna said excitedly like a teenager shopping for their first car. Suddenly Celestia's eyes shot open with a look of realization as she slowly turned her head to look at me.

"Princess of lost and forbidden knowledge." Celestia said slowly, making me cringe. Which would make me grade-A Twilight bait. "And as Bob said you drew a lot of attention to yourself."

"But they aren't doing anything. How is this a problem?" I asked.

"The public library has been picked clean. All grammatical Errors on alleyway graffiti has been corrected making them actually offensive instead of just confusing. Everypony is being pestered with question after question and being poked and prodded in many offensive and invasive ways. And the dragon is scaring everypony just by sitting there." The guard listed off. Great. Well it is my mess so I guess I'll have to clean it up. Creating a portal I summon one of my minions that would be perfect for this job.

"Jingles!" I say with a smile. "I got a little job for you. Do you trust me?" I ask getting the skull of the undead pony to cock to the side.

"I trusted you enough to give you my soul." He said causing the girls to give me looks.

"Technicalities. It needed to be done to make him a lich. I'll give it back should he ever decide to quit." I reassure. Normally to become a lich one must sell their soul to a demon god but fortunately from the times I was lent out to gods by Faust I learned how they buy souls from their followers so that they can use their domain as an afterlife and I have the power to pull it off myself so I could give him lichhood without turning him into a slave to some great evil. And as such his soul by the law of the divines belongs to me. "Anyways I need you to do something for me then you can get right back to the lab. And you're going to need that necklace with the illusion enchantment I gave you."

Starswirl felt incredibly stupid. He just looked onward with a deadpan expression on his face as he was flown around the city dangling from a rope attached to a surprisingly sturdy fishing pole.

"Is that Starswirl the bearded!?" A unicorn gasped as they turned a corner.

"It is! Starswirl come back!" Her apparent twin shouted out. This went on for a while until Starswirl could hear what sounds like a stamped behind him and looks back to see a wall of purple mares running, galloping and flying behind him.

"Fan mares!" Starswirl shouted in a panic and started moving his legs as fast as he could to gallop on the air as if that could somehow make him go faster. He swung to the side barely avoiding a tackle from a purple anthro pony with wings. "No no no no no no no!" If he were capable of crying right now he would be crying in fear as the horde of mares only grew larger and larger. Then he heard it. A roar that shook his very bones. Looking back once more he saw a purple dragoness had joined in on the chase and was reaching out a claw to snatch him up. A hungry look in her eyes.

"Mine!" The dragoness said as she tried to catch Starswirl in her claw but just as the fingers were closing Starswirl was pulled up causing the claws to grip nothing but the air under him. "Come back!"

"No no no no no no no no no" Starswirl chanted before passing through an inky black tunnel. Once they came out again they were surrounded by grass and mountains. Starswirl didn't have much time to ponder this as the dragoness came in much faster now that she had more room to fly.

"Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine! The dragoness sang out as her powerful claws wrapped around the lich and closed tightly while cutting the rope connected to the pole on the chariot. Unfortunately for dragon Twilight she was so focused on taking the bait that she didn't look where she was flying and crash head first into a wall of fur. Before she could fall she was caught by a giant paw and lifted up to my face as I lift my other law and place it in front of her expectantly. She blinks a few times before pointing to the lich in her claws and I nod. Very reluctantly she places Jingles in my paw and I smile down at him as I set the dragon down.

"Thank you." I say.

"Did you really need me to do that?" He asked as he looked back at the Twilights behind him.

"Not at all. In fact I've already collected all of the non-Twilight visitors that came to see me." I say while gesturing to the large group of people. Most of which are wizards.

"What?! Why did you do it then?!" He asked.

"Because it was funny." I answer simply. Jingles opened his mouth to reply. Thought better of it and just sat down and groaned. I just gave him a gentle pat on the head and sent him back to the lab. I then look down to see everyone except for some Twilights worshiping me much to my discomfort so I start talking.

"Sorry about that but the mortals of this world aren't used to so many outsiders and you were panicking my nieces followers. And that is their city. So I'm going to create a little place out here for those who come to see me." I announce before focusing on my magic. Everyone quieted down and watches to see what I was about to do while I shrank down to my normal height. Luckily I'm pretty good with earth based magic as being a dungeon keeper requires that you learn it so the dark geomancy I got from Sombra's books comes easily for me. Coupled with my skills of room creation from being a dungeon keeper creating a dark crystal building should be easy for me. Still it wouldn't hurt to give them a show. I push my magic into the earth and expend the extra magic to make them true grown crystals instead of the conjured stuff to make it last. As the sound of the crystal braking through the ground hits my ears Equestria's magic kicks in and music starts to play much to the confusion of the non-Twilights but I resist the urge to sing and keep my focus.

"It would be so easy. Look at her son. She's just standing there out in the open. All it would take is one good shot? So tell me boy. Have you given up on your prey?" An earth pony looking through an enchanted scope on his crossbow asked before looking up at his son showing the griffin eye that had been transplanted in long ago.

"I've told you father I will slay the beast." Hunter said with a scowl making his burnt face look monstrous.

"Then make your old man proud." The older pony said as he hoofed the crossbow over to his son. Swallowing Hunter lifted the weapon and took aim. He could see her head through the scope as he carefully moved the weapon to hit his target and pulled the trigger. And fell back from the kickback of the weapon. When he got up to look he was shocked to see black crystals growing in front of where his target was. "Just so you know those crystals didn't save her. Your aim was way off." His father said disapprovingly. "Oh well she wasn't our primary objective today anyways."

"How can you be so calm when it still lives?" Hunter grumbled.

"Had she been at the palace I would have killed her without giving you the chance you have just botched for the third time. My task is to give the distraction to save our comrades. Including your mother who never should have been on that Element run that twisted the forms of her and the others. She, they take priority." The older pony said calmly as he took his crossbow back and cocked it. The complex mechanisms inside giving enough so that he could pull the strings back and lock it into place before letting it pull tight again. Placing the bolt into place he took careful aim at the city on the mountain opposite the one they were sitting on. Once he had his shot he fired only giving a grunt at the kickback as the bolt flew across the sky. Over buildings, through windows and passed surprised ponies and broke through the window in the palace throne room shooting the crown off of Celestia's head causing panic as she created a shield around the room.

"At least the guards are getting good training now. They're already swarming the area outside looking for the shooter in an efficient manner." The sniper pony commented. "The family code states that you never go after another family member's prey. But you are embarrassing us. You have one more chance. Fail again and I'll end this myself and add a fox skinned rug to my room. You understand me boy?...boy are you listening too..." The sniper asked but stopped when he turned around and saw what had his son so distracted. Blinking a few times he readied his bow again and placed a magic canceling bolt in and took a shot. When the bolt bounced off the crystal walls showing that it was real his eyes widened.

Make the walls denser. It's getting taller than I thought. I'll add four towers around it and connect them with bridges. I had been working on this little project quickly but efficiently. Making it denser, bigger. Adding floors, rooms and art. Transmuting carpets and drapes. Adding enchanted lighting bathrooms that run on conjured water which took more power than the walls themselves but I kept going. Even tapping into my reserves of liquid pain to show off some to the crowd. When it got too tall I added more walls around it making it wider which aloud me to make it taller. When I finally drained myself I stopped and open my eyes which were swimming. Luckily the crowd sounded awed by the display so that gave me a moment to recover so that I can act like that was nothing but I had to stop myself from dropping my jaw at what I had created.

It can't be. No even if I only used magic that comes easy for me and tapped into the liquid pain I shouldn't have been able to do this. I thought to myself as I look up at the black castle. It had large walls that curved outwards into black spikes and the inside was stacked into layers growing high into the sky and four black towers with bridges connecting them to the main castle. What I was going for but I didn't think it would be anywhere near this big. It's bigger than Canterlot! Well it is if you break it up and stack it into the castle's shape but still.

"Oh mighty Rin you grace us with your show of power." One of the human wizards said as he bowed. Poker face Rin. I turn and look down to the bowing people and resist my inner Fluttershy and remained where I was. "Tell us great one. Can we once more ask you questions of lost arts?" I give an imaginary sweat drop at this. So far I've been able to answer their questions from the knowledge I gained from the void or my studies or if I didn't know I would tell them that knowledge needed to be earned or wasn't meant to be known if I felt it was dangerous enough. But for the most part the answers to the questions I've been getting. The answers were in the books someone else gave me as an offering to get their own questions answered. ...Hello idea.

"You know with all of you from so many worlds you have so many things to share with each other. Answers to questions the one standing next to you has. So bring your books. I shall place an enchanted area inside to make copies. Fill a library that all of you my little ones can come to and learn." I have to take a moment to not drool at the thoughts of all of those books. "Bring knowledge and take knowledge and help each other grow. And if you can't find what you need in the library then you may come ask me."

"Yes! Oh great one we will do as you command!" One wizard said. Ya whatever just bring me your books. Must, not, drool.

"We can build a city around the castle! Bring all of our skills to build something amazing!" What I can only guess is an artificer shouted out excitedly. ...That moment of greed is going to come back and bite me isn't it?

"We can set up guilds that work though other plains! It will be great!" Another shouted out. ...Well that's one way to keep Bob happy.

Later that day.

"Well that was a taxing day wasn't it my little sunshine?" I ask the shrunken Celestia I was using as a teddy.

"You know I can sleep safely in my own bed." Celestia said in a deadpan.

"Nope. I'll never get to sleep unless I know you're safe."

"There is no way that thing could have killed me." Celestia countered.

"Celestia. Think carefully on your odds of winning this. Think of how you would of reacted if it had happened to me." I reply and I hear nothing from her after that. Having earned my victory I snuggle up in my covers to get some sleep.

Oh divines please bless our party as we go to smite this evil. My ears flicker at the sound.

Please give me the strength to find the lost songs of king Sol. I grumble a little in my sleep.

My child has been cursed in a fight with a ghoul. Please Rin save my son whom I've brought before you. Okay I'll help with that. I send a blast of curse crushing power through the link. Jack! Oh my boy you're okay! Thank you! Thank you! I smile a little as I drift off to wait... My eyes shoot open as I shoot up startling Celestia as I did so.

"What the heck! Did actually just ascend?! I thought there would be some kind of transition phase! Or at least a forced tutorial!" I shout out getting a confused look from Celestia.

Meanwhile in another world.

"Ninety-nine, one hundred." The old man said as he paid the merchant wrapped up in strange clothes for the heart talismans for the worship of the new goddess. Shortly after making the purchase the crate was carried into the temple behind the priest that made the purchase and they moved to where all of their gods are worshiped and walked up to the obsidian fox statue that was just being finished and placed one of the tokens at its paws. He watched in fascination as it was absorbed into the statue.

Author's Notes:

While trying to think a way to get Rin beholder minions I watched a few videos on beholders on YouTube and when I ran out I clicked on a random D&D video and got my answer in this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul3ta2hQ6W8

I also found that there are subspecies of beholder called beholderkin which are weaker than a true beholder that from their descriptions Rin could recruit through Bob using the scavenger room from the first dungeon keeper game. In the game that room is used by your minions to contact minions of the same type working in enemy dungeons and causing them to defect to your side. But Bob will be the only true beholder Rin attracts.
