PIT or PID?

Clay gazed at the pit, it's dark endless depths seemed to stare back at him. Thoughts of exsistance and it's mean popped into his head bereft of his own will.

Snapping out of it and looking to his companions, Clay saw them staring at him weirdly.

"what did you just mutter?" Posed jack.

"I don't recall saying anything. I kinda spaced out for a second there." Replied Clay with a look of confusion maring his face.

Stepping forward Inga said "let's get this over with," before taking out a small rope, that looked to flimsy to hold her, and tied it around a stalagmite.

Seconds later she was repelling down the pit with shouts of obscenities and cowardice finding their way back too the two still at the top.

"Sense I'm the weakest here why don't you go first I'll make sure the rope doesn't slip off the stalactite." Clay told Jack before getting a simple response "it's a stalagmite, but ok"

Jack walked over to the side of the pit and took a hold of the rope before repeling down the pit

As jack repealed, Clay noticed he couldn't see Inga anymore, a show of how deep this pit was.

After a five minutes a call from Inga, that reverberated from the bottom of the pit reached its way to the top. "I made it"

Hearing this Clay shouted back down, "I'm starting my descent now" before grabbing a hold of the rope and repeling.

After a long descent the feeling of the air changed and the bottom suddenly appeared while the top of the pit turned into a black abyss, as if Clay had just come descending from nothing itself.

Dropping the last bit down Clay, Inga, and jack formed a plan before moving forward through the cave.

It didn't take long before a stone temple surrounded by humans in odd white and yellow suits was found.

"You right there! Hold it! Hands where I can see them" a thing in a black and white suit with oddly shaped pots coming from the mouth area shouted. In the things hand was a sleek black L shaped metal object.

"Your not gonna boss me around rando monster!" Inga, thinking with her arms and not her brain, charged the thing thinking they where a monster, Jack providing support to his teammate without much thought as they had done this many time before on their way here.

Clay stayed out of the way and didn't do anything, A, because there where no plants, and B, the L shaped object looked similar to the weapon that Cayde used!

Clay would consider himself lucky within the next few moments, as mere moments after the first arrow was released from jack's bow, two loud bangs rang out like thunder and metal from the things hands.

It didn't take much more then a second before both jack and Inga where both dead. The two corpses flopping to the cold, rough, stone floor with a meaty slap followed by a crunch noise.

Knowing that he would definitely die if he didn't take diplomatic actions, Clay spoke in a rush.

"Uh hello please don't kill me! I promise I mean no harm!"

"Why, no, how did you get here?" Asked the thing in a black and white suit

"I came from the top of the giant pit over there" Clay replied while pointing

It had been some time sense all group where supposed to be back but no signs of the most capable group, Clay, inga, and jack had shown themselves.

"Class is dismissed." Was all the instructor said before walking off towards the center of the academy building.

Ariving soon thereafter at Cayde's office, instructor saint William stood at attention and waited for permission to speak.

"Come on will, no need to be so formal, what's up" cause who was modeling a extremely realistic figurine said.

"The one you have asked us to pay attention too has gone missing, alongside Thor's daughter, and a student named Jack." Saint William reported with a straight face. The only noticeable change in behavior where the straightening of his already straight back.

"They should be fine, we will know they are alive as long as the Nirin girl stays alive."

"Undertood sir."

And with that saint William went to check up on, and break the news too, the student named Nirin.

It had been about twenty minutes of explaining his adventure before Clay stopped talking. Covering everything from the start of his dungeons class till now.

"And that is how I ended up here… where is here?"

The thing, which Clay now knew too be Norman smith — a human — looked at Clay with a incredulous look on his face. "So your telling me that you came from a alternate plane of existence, and are currently on a school assignment? Not only this but also that you can do… plant, magic?

"Yes, exactly"

"Well then do plant magic." Said Norman, as he was a team leader for the USA's PID or paranormal intelligence department… this was still a bit much.

This PID team was too investigate a anomalous structure that gave off a wave of energy similar to radiation but safer.

The anomalous structure in question was a temple to some kind of god, though what of was unclear.

"Do you have any plants?" Clay asked as he needed some kind of plants to make a tangible effect, as his communication with the wind was personal and hard to observe.

"Unfortunately not." After a short pause too think Norman Smith came up with an alternative idea "can you tell us what this strange energy is?"

"What do you mean? There no strange energy here, the only things strange about this temple is the extremely low mana in the air." Clay responded as he looked around a bit more not catching what Norman ment.

"Hmmm, mana you say…"
