Trayten was shocked to see he was placed in a tag team match to start his fighting career. Not that he was incapable of being a good teammate. He just wasn't sure about the one he was partnered with. Similar to firefighting, a tag team in martial arts fighting requires chemistry with your partner and the knowledge that they will have your back at all times. The opening night of the CFA would see Trayten matched with someone he had barely met in Cesar. Unsure of how it would work, he took his concerns to Mr. O, but the boss wasn't budging. The matches were set and this is how it would have to be. Much to Trayten's dismay.

 barzona gave me an awesome sketch of Trayten here. I gave him the freedom of putting him in a pic with any character and he chose Ontavio. Since they couldn't be in a fight, he depicted them having a conflict. At the time I asked for the commission, he wasn't able to finish the lineart and colors. When he returned to finish my request, I wasn't able to afford the full work so I paid him for his sketch as I was very pleased with result. I came up with this piece of the story to match the artwork. CH. 11 is on deck and the results of the matches will be revealed very soon! (seriously, the chapter is done and I'm proofreading it this weekend!)
