Yup, it's true. I admit it. I'm Morgan's Master...

The partner of the high queen who rules over the land of the fae.

Your efforts in Norwich, though commendable, were unnecessary. Still, you did well, eliminating the calamity.

＠Morgan
I will therefore reward you accordingly. Typically, I would compensate you in the currency of my realm.

＠Morgan
However, I understand the source of your magical energy is spatial magical energy-occupying values you refer to as “QP,” which are derived by viewing magical elements as particles. Correct?

[k]

...but if it isn't stopped, it'll spread across all of Britain and ultimately destroy the entire planet.

That's why Chaldea came to Faerie Britain. We need to investigate this collapse and prevent it from ever happening.
