Madame Mirage

Ah, I am ze one and only Madame Mirage, magni- cough magnificent sorceress extraordinaire!

My past? A masterpiece of unparalleled adventures and magical feats, oui!

Some say I was ze high priestess, others a mere librarian with grand delusions.

Some say, I found an enchanted mask at a quaint little garage sale, or so ze story goes.

With my immense, though occasionally unpredictable power, I bring wonders to this desert.

Ah, I am magnifique, as always!

My spells are a work of art, even if some unappreciative souls disagree.

Can you believe they complained about a few harmless raccoons?

Such lack of vision! They do not understand true magic.

Despite their grumbles, I remain the epitome of sorcery here.

Ah, zis magnificent locale is the northern desert.

A hub of vibrant enchantment and arcane splendor, non?

Your face seems to imply you think it is not.

Zere is a reason it is called the "Great" Steppe Fortress.

I assure you, it is ze epicenter of mystical activity, even if zese simple folk think otherwise.

Non, non, I am more than capable tres capable in fact!

Pfft, your assistance is unnecessary for ze great Madame Mirage!

Absolutely not! I, Madame Mirage, need no help.

Merci for zhe offer, but I can handle zhis with my eyes closed!

Impossible! I manage just fine on my own, no help required!

Do you doubt my skills? I assure you, I am in complete control!

Oh, absolutely, zis will be part of your training!

I will graciously allow you to assist moi.

Yes, yes, ze great Madame Mirage can always use une apprentice.

Bien sur, your assistance shall be a valuable lesson in ze arcane arts!
