At precisely 6:30, the two of them make it down to the caverns below. Guided by a heavenly total of 19, they're able to catch a glimpse of something that hasn't been seen by any of the other Reclaimers up to this point.
The dragon is down there, laying dormant. From the angle you land in, you notice that it's curled around... something, but you can't quite make hide nor hare of what that something is. Since 76 is a Paladin, however, you'll notice that there are two things in play here. First off, an evil aura is emanating from the dragon, creating the lair effect of Frightening Presence. You both feel as if you move forward that your entire life lay forfeit at your feet, and it grips the both of you. It's hard to make movement forward, but the other thing, the thing that's being obscured, is something that pings your other honed senses. Namely, the celestial. There's an energy down here so divine that your brain can't even comprehend what that is.
And if you've spoken with Phoenix, you might understand why there was a disembodied voice saying "No... not yet."
The thing here is incomprehensible.
Another scene plays out in front of you. You can't quite hear what's going on- again, your feet are plastered to the ground, terrified that you're about to wake this hulking monstrosity of a Black Dragon.
But you notice there are actually.... two other figures here besides you.
Rainer and Casariel, currently engaged in what looks like a rather heated discussion. You may have noticed Rainer is cool, collected, and easy-going, but she looks to be pleading with Casariel. You stay, and watch, then, as she does... well, something.
And then, blinded by an effulgent light, suddenly the chasm begins to shake and the dragon begins to wake up.
