I concur with Chrischa.

It is most likely that the dominant dragon within Paragon and Tintaglia were the ones fighting, and that Amber brought her back.

Tintaglia is most definitely having a silver-blue sheen so it is not such a leap to suggest as such.

It is unlikely that the lesser dragon is the other one, as it is clearly described as one of the dragons to have a chance of life, and in this case, only Tintaglia fits the profile.

By process of elimination, we can arrive at Chrischa's conclusion.

I agree on all counts, and have pretty solid evidence to substantiate Tintaglia's presence !! First up, I think I may have confused the 'blueness' of Tintaglia with the 'blueness' of Sintara (as it was Sintara, I think, who was particularly disappointed to discover that she was a 'common blue' and not a rarer colour!). Though Tintaglia WAS blue once she emerged, she was a silver-blue and that made me think of something I remembered mentioned of her earlier colouring whilst she was still in the cocoon, and this is where she still was during the clash of the dragons AND when she appeared in one of the dreams shared by Reyn and Malta. This being so, I went back to one of those dream-box scenes and found:

"A dragon hovered above the trees. The powerful beat of her wings spurred the winds. Even the cloud-dimmed light of the sun could not diminish her glory. She was iridescent (same word used to describe silver dragon in the original quote). Colours chased one another over her silver body and wings . Her eyes were copper."

Gotta love research !
