Are they released back into their immortal states like they would be if they died away from the dragonborn? Or would they...I don't know, become one with Akatosh again or something? I only think the latter because it would make sense on a divine level. Given that Akatosh is widely believed to be the father of dragons, and Akatosh is a spiritual being, a dragon's soul might return to Akatosh's being when they are released from the dragonborn upon death. This would also keep in the theme of the scenario of a dragon that is killed by a dragonborn is dead forever. Or perhaps, in expanding upon this theory, maybe the dragon souls become one with the dragonborn's own spirit even after they die. I mean, who's to say that a dragonborn's soul would exist the same way as a mortal's soul would in the various afterlives. After all, the dragonborn is clearly described as having the soul of a dragon and not a mortal's.
