~ Shadow Copy - Four ~
~ Three-Eyed Ravens Caverns ~
After entertaining myself, treating my bonded direwolf, Fenris, as a regular pet dog by playing fetch with him, play wrestling and tug-of-war for that mammoths bone. I sat back down on my weirwood throne as Fenris left the caverns to go hunting with his pack, a few ravens and some of the Earthsingers best hunters.
The integration of the direwolf pack has been a great addition to my first subjects of this world, their presence in the caverns has brought some much needed liveliness to the last bastion of the Old Gods. Hopefully It won't be the last successfully integrated species to be added to this underground cavernous kingdoms population.
The direwolves were the first of the planned additions to the growing list. Including, Giants and their herds of mammoths; Shadowcats, Unicorns; which are actually just a single horned horse-mountain goat hybrid; and if any still live Ice Spiders and Ice Dragons. Luckily I have a growing number of subordinates, so I don't have to collect all of those creatures myself, just the more tricky target's of acquisition. Ice Spiders being the preferred mounts of the Others, so they are possibly all undead-wights or hidden. Then there is the Ice Dragons, which have not been seen for thousands of years, even the Earthsingers couldn't say if they had survived the first Long Night, but they did confirm that they once resided beyond the Lands of Always Winter.
Other than the bosses magic creature husbandry plans and powering the wards surrounding and hiding these caverns and the weirwood grove above, I have one other job assigned to me.
Making sure, by the way of serious greenseer manipulation of the flow of the timeline, that none of the shenanigans that the main body gets into before or after the Doom derails the future canon events before our return to Westeros. Which we, the main body and I, have been debating about over our mental telepathy link, but both of us agree it should be later in Targaryen history. Definitely after Bloodraven is sent to the Wall by Aegon V "Egg" Targaryen after he kills another Blackfyre claimant in, according to Egg, in a dishonorable way.
Thankfully, we have hundreds of years to finalize our plans for our future global domination and conquest. Plus I'll be here for those hundreds of years collecting human personnel for our future court and nobility.

~ Shadow Copy - One ~
~ Omniversal Void ~
After getting our marching orders from the boss we slipped through the seams of reality, arriving outside the universe almost instantaneously. The sight of the void of the omniverse again is far more comforting than my first time here.
Dark and endless to most, but if you have the perception a omniversal fledgling vampire god it's filled with everything you can imagine and more that you cannot. All multiverses seem to group together based on genre's, as if all fiction and nonfiction are an organized library housed in the void.
My perception tells me that all these multiverse cluster's and their time-lines look a lot like how they protrayed the sacred TVA timeline in the show Loki. Cluster's of twisting colorful strings that originate from unknown sources in the void. All visible with the right perception and the ability to travel between the seems of the all encompassing omniversal void.
Some of these strings are damaged in some way. Some are dark and dead; some are clipped of at one end, some are bright with vibrant luminescence, and some have completely separated from their multiverse cluster's. The latter ones seemed to have a desolate feeling to them, like the timeline has been snipped off so it wouldn't infect the rest with its decay.
There's also some other things floating throughout the void other than multiverse cluster's, dimensional beings, broken world's, and wandering soul's. There's also some items and trinkets floating around in the void, some broken down or exhausted of whatever made them special and others seem to have a life of their own.
Shadow Copy Three should be in charge of collecting some of these things while he is mapping the omniversal void. Luckily we can save devoured items in our stomach if we need to, but a more versatile storage ability would be helpful. Hopefully he'll be able to find some storage treasures or a soul with a inter-dimensional storage space whether by magic or something else.
'We'll figure something out, we have a omniverse of opportunities to find something that helpful.' I thought to myself as I focused on the present for now.
Stepping out of my chosen AU universe I step into view of the multiverse cluster of the A Song of Ice and Fire universe's. Millions upon millions of alternate universe's; the Game of Thrones series timeline, the A Song of Ice and Fire books, and the millions and billions of alternate realities inbetween those two and more. Some universes are more modern, some more steam punk, some even had sci-fi elements in the story. There's even some universes that follows an exact premise of some of my favorite Asoiaf fan fictions from my past life.
Countless time-lines flow by me, I pause at one timeline recognizing it, the House of the Dragon series tv-verse. I remember watching it before my last deployment as a mercenary, binging on the first and second seasons before watching the series premiere of A Knight of the Seven Kingdom's.
Instead of heading off on my assignment, I may have started binge watching the whole of the planned series. I Started watching from my favorite part of the whole series, which was the episode with Rhaenys and Meleys dying heroically battling Sunfyre and Vhagar. I stopped watching after Cregan Stark returned to the North after the Hour of the Wolf where he restored order to the southern Westeros and returned North as soon as he could.
'Now back to my assignment: Viltrumite DNA and more resources or knowledge, preferably both. If I remember correctly we saw the superhero universe's just a little aways from here when we first arrived.' I thought to myself as I finally pulled myself away before binging the next nearly two hundred years of Targaryen history.' I believe that Shadow Copy Two will make it to the Harry Potter multiverse cluster first, it was far closer to the Asoiaf multiiverse cluster.'
As I started floating away from the Asoiaf cluster's towards the comic multiverse cluster's that we passed through on our way here. Along the way to Invincible multiverse cluster I kept an eye out for anything or anyone useful and recognizable.
Some days after the start of my trip towards my destination moving about the endless void I spotted an severed almost desolate timeline floating towards me. The whole of the universe, or what's barely left of it, is chipping off at both ends, like it's genesis and ending are petrified and crumbling into oblivion of the void. A timeline that's about to be completely erased.
Yet, as I got closer to inspect if I recognized the universe it used to be, I felt two presences clinging onto the a part of the whole universe. Though both presences are shrouded in a dense fog of despair and shadows, making it hard to perceive the identities of the two remaining people of this dying universe.
So, the question is, 'should I ignore them and continue on towards my destination or make a quick trip into a almost dead universe to see if I recognize two shadowed despairing individuals?'
I have an hopeful suspicion of who it could be, but it could end up with my destruction and a failing of my assignment. But if it is who I hope it is this could be even more worthwhile than just completing my assignment.
Decisions, decisions.
