The Visions

Choi Yeong was a seeker of balance, which is why he often meditated. It often set his spirit in proper perspective.

Besides the spirit, there were three other areas where Choi had found he should keep balanced. They were the physical, mental, and the social aspects of life. He had come to understand through Master Park’s tutelage that keeping a balance in these four areas brought peace to one’s soul. If any of these areas were neglected, there was stress.

There was another thing: the meditations. It was often during these times that Yeong received visions. It was during this particular meditation that he received flashes of things Choi assumed from previous experiences that he was about to encounter.

He saw a flash of two lines coming together into an intersection. This quickly faded and a new image presented itself. I was some creature, half man, half moth? with piercing luminescent red eyes. Choi thought he had heard a helicopter, but it turned out to be the sound of the wings of this creature as it flew away. The last picture Yeong saw was a young oriental woman, beautiful, near his own age. The Dragon operative believed her to be the one for whom he was to ensure success. Was this her first assignment?

He soon returned to the physical world. Choi decided to freshen up, return upstairs for a meal, then walk Chinatown. He had sensed for some reason she was nearby, perhaps even in Chinatown. He had to find her.
