Iron's Life
"Latem Fo Tnemele Eht Leef!" Iron unlocking true power

"We need to stop the tournament from proceeding," to Darko

"Why hello there, music girl," to Musict in his first battle

"I'll hold them off!" to Nimbus in the final book

Iron was born to Mona and Hugo Steelblade of the metal tribe. He lived in the fortress for years, practicing his skills which both his parents possessed. It was the ability to manipulate metal. Although it was his father who taught him the ways of the metal dragon. He taught his son about how it spat steel shards and could turn its skin to iron at will, like armour. Hugo was assured that humans possessed that power too.

When Iron reached 9 years old, he mastered the skill and became a powerful metal master. He discovered it by using the true power spell. When the tournament started, people didn't want to see a regular metal magic user take part, they wanted him. Erowp came to him and chose him for the tournament, telling that they would pay him and make him come. Eventually, he agreed, however still wanted to stop the tournament as the leader had forced him to join.

When he got there, he met Dajil, Darko and Aquala, three others made to take part. He first went across the sound representative, a girl called Musict and surrendered to her banshee-like screams. Darko had to go against Dajil and the sand representative beat her. Aquala sadly had to kill the crystal representative known as Amethyst when she would not surrender.

As the other two were eventually beaten by Nimbus and Spark, they decided to plan. They wanted to stop the tournament seeing as it was bad and Aquala's friends were in there. Iron went back to the metal tribe and began to protest. He was given a letter in the third book to come for the 10th tournament. Iron was going to disagree until they told him that killing was not a rule anymore, which he was pleased to hear, also meeting up with Aquala and Darko.

Iron fought with Aurum, a merciless gold master, and they won their match. When the arena was broken into, Iron escaped and made contact with Dajil. Together, the two joined Nimbus, Volta, Zumbil and Darko to escape. He held off many Windon Warriors, but eventually it needed something more. He watched as Darko cloaked the enemies in shadow before being shot with a poison arrow. Then, as she was dying, she whispered the true power spell 'Wodahs Fo Tnemele Eht Leef' and wiped them all out. This saddened him. After the evil gang was brought down, he returned to the metal tribe and stayed with his friends and family.
