Entry Fee (comic)

Entry Fee is the first storyline comic of the first Tournament and the first comic overall.

Opening
Saint is alone, in a coffee shop. He is then ambushed by Anya, who blinds him after he attempts to kill her. They bond almost immediately off of mutual fear and respect for each other. After spending some time in the coffee shop, they try to scope out a different safe place, both still wary of each other, skeptical of one another's judgments.

Finding Serif
Saint and Anya hear screams, and follow the sounds until they find a monster in its lair, holding a captive Serif in web bondings. They try to free the boy, as a third member in their party would be beneficial. They try to break Serif free without conflict but get caught by Mortia.

The Fight with Mortia
Saint and Anya defend against Mortia while Serif starts to escape from his bondage. They almost defeat her but she crawls away, leaving them to fight the remaining spiders. Serif introduces himself. They continue on with a mutual hatred for the Demoness and a drive to find a new home.

Trivia

 * Entry Fee is the first comic in the Tournament, ever.
 * During the fight between Saint and Mortia, Saint says the line "You can kill me or not. Either way, I win". This is a reference to the DC comics character Deathstroke, who says the same line.
 * In Aeternus Metus, before he kills Emmaline, he also mutters the line "Goodbye, Ms. Blood". This is also a similar line to one that Deathstroke says.
 * This may be a tie to the fact that Saint has many similarities to Deathstroke, like his alignment and occupation.
