Loot the shard, use it to unlock the dragon. But in order to release the dragon - click on one of the pilars of his cage (the lupe will appear) instead of the dragon.
For this quest you need a drop from a demon called Dravax , can be found at Stormheim 65.23, 57.63.
Should be between the tents where the jailed dragon is faced.
