“We are making our final descent onto Taanab. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us.”

‘These public shuttles are all the same’ Raistlin thought to himself as he stood amidst all of the beings upon the transport. He never carried too much, only the essentials. Weapon, armor, credits, anything else was a luxury. Raistlin’s pale skin glinted in the sunlight as they finally landed on the planets surface. ‘Finally’ Raistlin thought, ‘get me away from all of these disgusting creatures’.

Like ants coming out of their home, the inhabitants of the shuttle poured out into the docking bay. Raistlin walked with ease, keeping his focus on his task at hand. It had been a few weeks since he had heard about Taanab. All he knew was that it was a school or academy for beings who had interest in learning about the force. Thinking back, Raistlin remembered the day he had heard about the academy.

The sabaac tables inside of the dingy tavern seemed unpromising. Raistlin knew he needed some action, something to keep him occupied while he waiting for his host to arrive. As Raistlin sat in a dimly lit corner of the bar he watched as the protocol droid took his order and left. After a few minutes the silver skinned droid returned and placed the drink upon his table, being courteous the whole time. Raistlin waved a hand and the droid left.

:After about half an hour:

Pulling a out the chair across from Raistlin, the old man who called himself Tik took a seat. The two men knew each other for some time. As they talked about past times and had a few laughs it was time to get down to business.

“The answers you seek are on a planet called Taanab. It is an academy for students but there has been rumors of strange things happening. Disappearances and things of that nature. If you can survive whatever lay inside, I believe you can exact your revenge on the men who did this to you”. What Tik was talking about was the markings that were etched over Raistlin’s pale white skin. He did not know the meaning, yet, but knew it was some ritual that had been performed. Leaving his face deformed and his body looked like something out of a horror story.

Snapping back into reality Raistlin continued to walk along the concrete path that looked like it had been laid centuries ago. Cracks and weeds had grown through showing the age of the planet. After walking for what seemed like half a day he finally came to stand before two humongous doors. After waiting for so long, Raistlin knew he was that much closer to his revenge, that much closer to killing everyone he loathed.
