What is luck?

The answer people give to these questions are often such as these:

The result of chaos, one would say.

One of the less logical and most law-breaking things in the universe, another would say.

That's just a question of karma, some would say.

But in reality, what is luck?

Did someone decide that luck must be like that?

Did someone decide that luck must be so random?

Or did someone decide you had a certain chance of dying of cancer, of having a wife, or of winning at the lottery?

Does the world work with karma? Does your luck turn later if you are unlucky?

These were questions I was asking myself all my life.

And this, until I discovered what was really luck…

Luck is like magic!

Being the heir of a royal family of wizards, I always knew magic wasn't like in stories…

It's more like a veil closely tied to reality, that you can move as you want as long as you know where to catch it.

Wizards are just able to see this veil, allowing them to more easily find the good spots.

And once, as I was watching the veil, I saw for a split second another veil through the first.

After tearing through the veil of magic, I finally saw it in all its glory.

I only had to manipulate it a bit to know it was something special. It was linked to everyone, to every single thing… It was even more potent than magic.

This veil was the veil of destiny, the veil of luck!
