"Impossible"

NARRATOR

"Did I hear it right?" Jake wondered, "Maland performed a binding spell on me and bound his own soul with mine! So, basically, his body is doing the work of mine and he's the reason I am still living?"

An overwhelming sense of gratitude overtook Jake as he thought of Maland's sacrifice. He knew that it wasn't a small thing for Maland, to perform a magic so complex yet so intimate as this. Yet, somehow Jake knew that he would have done the same, had he been in Maland's place. 

Ever since coming to Mafhaelore, Jake had wondered what his real purpose in life was. Yes, indeed he wanted to find a cure for Maland's paralysed hand, but the more he thought about it now, the more impossible it seemed. Afterall, didn't Mike pointedly say that paralysis is incurable. Well, Atleast the physical ones are. About the Magical ones, Jake had no more idea than anyone else.
