Diago remained silent for a very long time.
He realized that Father God and he shared the same thought—he too wanted to ask where the Paladin and "Emperor" had gone.
He remembered entering the vortex and, after a brief obstruction of his vision, found himself in a narrow, dark corridor with no visible entrance or exit and an unknown destination.
Groping the edges of the hallway, he discovered by touch that there were cell-like prison compartments on both sides.
Sticky mucus coated his palms, and it seemed the walls of the cells were covered with some creature capable of secreting mucus, whose brief contact gave him the sensation that the creature attached to the walls was still wriggling. Diago was somewhat relieved that he couldn't see anything; otherwise, he might have felt nauseated enough to vomit.
But Song Lan did not like this feeling at all.
His vision was shared with Diago, and he too had plunged into the profound darkness with Diago.
