On the left side of the image, Jill and Dr. Can Do stand together on grass in front of a partially built wooden structure (the beginnings of the windmill). Jill stands slightly to the left with a skeptical, furrowed expression, her grey-and-brown pickaxe resting at her side. Dr. Can Do stands beside her, actively lifting a wooden plank into place on the structure with both hands, his small grey hammer tucked in his belt. Stone building blocks are stacked nearby on the ground to the right of them. The scene is outdoors on a bright day with a green landscape, trees in the distance, and a soft pink-tinged sky with clouds. The right ~40% of the image is a plain parchment-coloured text area.

Jill wrinkled her brow at the structure Dr Can Do was building. 'Why do we need a windmill?' she asked. 'Don't we get our power from the redstone?' Dr Can Do stopped to reply, 'Well, yes, but it will be a nice feature.'

On the right side of the image, Jill is shown in a close-up view, facing the viewer with a friendly expression and large, round dark eyes. She is holding a warm bowl of rabbit stew in her hands, offering it outward toward the left. Behind her, the completed windmill tower is visible in the background against a warm pink-purple sunset sky, with Dr. Can Do's small silhouette visible partway up the tower, still working on the sails. The left side of the image is a plain beige/cream text area. The image is rendered in a blocky, Minecraft-style pixel art aesthetic with a decorative stitched border.  The windmill tower sails are not attached to the wooden brackets, the sails are at the base of the tower.

The sun was setting when the tower was finished. But Dr Can Do still needed to wrestle with the sails. 'The rabbit stew is ready. Are you coming to eat?' Jill asked him. 'I'll be right there,' Dr Can Do sighed.

On the left side of the image, a tall Iron Golem with grey iron skin and dark eyes stands facing slightly to the right in a slow walking pose, while Dr. Can Do stands beside it looking up at the golem with a calm, shrugging expression. The scene is set outdoors at nighttime, with a dark blue sky visible above wooden fence walls that form an enclosed yard area, and grass on the ground. The right ~40% of the image is a plain beige text panel with no characters or detail.

Before bed, Dr Can Do heard something wrong outside. A low groan, then a creak in the dark. He crept into the yard, but nothing looked out of place. Their iron golem stood nearby on its nightly patrol, its heavy feet pressed into the soft grass. 'Just the golem,' Dr Can Do muttered with a wry shrug. He went back inside to switch off his redstone lights. But as he wrapped himself in his blanket, he was sure he heard that creak once again.

On the right side of the image, broken wooden planks, torn sail pieces, and blocks lie scattered across a green field, representing the destroyed windmill sails. The windmill tower stands in the background, stripped of its sails. In the foreground, Dr. Can Do stands with his arms thrown wide and an anguished, crying-out expression, while Jill crouches beside the wreckage, picking up a torn piece of sail and turning it over in her hands with a serious, examining expression. The scene is set outdoors in morning light with a pale pink sky, green grass, and a tree line in the background. The left ~40% of the image is a plain beige text area.

In the morning, they woke to an awful sight. The sails that Dr Can Do had set against the base of the windmill now lay in a wreck across the field. 'How did this happen?' Dr Can Do cried. Jill picked up a piece of sail. 'It looks like there was a strong wind that pulled them apart.'

On the left side of the image, Dr. Can Do and Jill stand together in Minecraft-style blocky rendering on the green field near the wreckage. Dr. Can Do is positioned to the far left in a full-body view, standing upright with his hands planted firmly on his hips and a frustrated, determined expression. Jill stands slightly in front and to his right, frowning with concern. Behind them, intact buildings β€” a house, a barn, and fences β€” stand undamaged against a pale blue sky, contrasting with the broken windmill wreckage nearby. The right ~40% of the image is plain beige background, clear for text overlay.

Dr Can Do planted his hands on his hips, staring at the wreckage. 'That's wrong. We don't even get wind here. The sails would have been turned by redstone power.' He looked around at the other buildings, but nothing else had been touched.

On the right side of the image, the completed wooden windmill stands tall on a green grassy area, with its sails in place atop a sturdy tower structure. In the foreground to the right of the windmill, Dr. Can Do stands facing the viewer at a three-quarter angle, staring upward at the evening sky while wringing his hands together with a worried, anxious expression. The scene is set outdoors under a warm orange-pink evening sky with the sun low on the horizon, and a landscape of houses and trees visible in the background. The left side is a plain beige panel reserved for text.

They started to put the pieces back together. This time, the windmill was completed by the end of the day. The sails were in place and the tower was finished. Dr Can Do looked at the sky, wringing his hands together with unease. There was no sign of any bad weather.

On the left side of the image, Dr. Can Do stands just outside the doorway of a house with a wooden porch overhead, bracing himself against a fierce gust of wind with a coat wrapped around himself over his white lab coat. His white mustache and eyebrows are blown to the side by the wind, and he has an alarmed, wide-eyed expression. In the background beyond the yard, the windmill is visible in the darkness with its sails spinning wildly out of control. Windswept bushes and greenery blow violently around his feet. The scene is set at nighttime with warm light spilling from inside the house behind him. The right ~40% of the image is a plain text overlay area.

In the middle of the night, Dr Can Do was woken by the wailing of a fierce wind. 'That's crazy!' he said. With his coat wrapped tightly around him, he ran out to the field. A strong gust of cold air met him, and he could already see the sails spinning out of control.

On the right side of the image, The Mage stands at the base of the tall wooden windmill tower, arms lowered at his sides, with a wry, mischievous smile. He is a blocky Minecraft-style figure in dark robes. The windmill sails hang still above him. To the left of The Mage, Dr. Can Do stands clearly visible at a three-quarter angle facing The Mage, wearing a coat wrapped around himself over his white lab coat, with a shocked, confrontational expression. The scene is set outdoors at nighttime, with stars in a deep blue sky. The windmill tower rises prominently behind The Mage, and tall trees line the background. A brick pathway extends across the foreground. The left ~40% of the image is a plain text overlay area.

Then he saw the cause of the wind. There was a man at the bottom of the tower with his arms raised. The man lowered his arms and the wind stopped. He gave the doctor a wry smile. 'I like your windmill,' he said. And that was how Dr Can Do met The Mischievous Mage.
