As he approached the windmill, the wind howled and the lightning flashed, casting eerie shadows on the ground. Alex felt a shiver run down his spine, but he steeled himself and began to make his way around the perimeter of the building.

The air inside the windmill was thick with the scent of old books and dust. Alex could hear the sound of whispers and murmurs coming from deeper within the building. He followed the sound, his heart pounding in his chest.

Rumors swirled that a group of skilled magicians, known as "Los Prestidigitadores," had been secretly meeting in the town's old windmill on the outskirts of town. They were said to be working on a final, grand illusion - one that would change the course of magic forever.
