The Battle of the Pyrenees
Derek was glad that with Atlas the way it was it was easy to get in and out of nations the way it was. Just a few hours previous (well, more than that, but not by much), they had been in New York City, deciphering something from medieval French in order to find the location of a sword thought to be lost for eternity. And now they were powering their way through Spain, heading just a few miles south of the Breach of Roland itself.

It was really spooky just how close to history they got here. And now they were searching for something even more important historically.

"Hey, Dole, about where on the map was the location again?"

"Roncevaux Pass. It is between the boarder of Spain and France." Dolemeck spoke in a way that made him sound distant from everything that was going on. "It is where Roland is said to have fallen in battle. There is a landmark in Euskal Herria... I mean Basque to honor him, but I doubt he was laid to rest with his sword. It would have only welcomed looters."

Dolemeck did not look directly at Derek, he seemed more lost than usual. His green eyes focused on sharpening his new sword. He honestly was not happy with the new sword, but it would have to make due for now.

"If I was this woman, I would make the mistake of heading for the landmark first. So it may buy us a day or two to find this sword. But in all honesty, this will be as you would say "a needle in a haystack". We will have to look for the remains of "Heaven and Earth" in order to find the sword... or so said the book. From what I believe, we are looking for a chapel within the area. The sword would have been safest there, as churches were rarely looted in our day. Doing so would lead to a quick death."

	"A church? Anything in particular about the church? I would assume age should be at least there, but are there other hints?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It was just a church, one that Charlemange had built. It was not as lavish as Aachen Cathedral, and more of a rural church. Something for the poor, no doubt." He continued to focus on sharpening his blade. "What looter would go to a church that was built for the impoverished? They know it would not have any treasures inside, not even a bronze chalice for communion. And as I stated earlier, looting a church easily got you killed, impoverished Church or not. Charlemange's thought process on hiding the sword here was a clever one at that."

	"It is far too quiet for my liking, Derek. Even for an abandoned church, I should be able to hear something." Dolemeck responded back to Derek. He starts to make his way up to the alter, when something causes him to suddenly draw his sword. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That something seems to be...nothing. There was nothing at the altar that seemed to have drawn the attention of the former knight. At least, until the altar was cleared and a gaping hole into blackness was obvious. And while the church is indeed quiet, there are very faint scrapings from down below.

	Derek only gets the faintest hint of what Dolemeck had found. He couldn't tell what it was, but it was important enough to not let him know before rushing in. Derek comes in, careful to not knock the door (or remnants of a door) off of its hinges and fly to follow where he can feel Dolemeck to be. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Derek moves as fast as he can, but when he feels Dolemecks actions in his head he feels...disappointment. No...not disappointment, that doesn't sound right. It's...an anticipation of it? //Dole, what happened? Are you okay?// (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What makes you think I didn't? I had, in another time, had access to them. In my own way," came the familiar voice of Lady Phyffe, but there is something very odd about he way she talks, the way she stands. It's not the same as before. "But you, dear infidel, should know better than to face me." The sword is brought up, held with much more skill than before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Derek follows the echo of Dolemecks mind, dodging and weaving between the various walls of the catacombs as fast as he could, trying to make his way to his cousin when he feels...something. He feels Lady Phyffe, but something extra beyond her. "Dole! I don't think it's just her there!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lady Phyffe smirks, bring the sword up into a stance that would undeniably be a sword style of the Saracens. "By the word of Emir Baghal of Baghdad, I will end you and claim the hated sword of Roland the Butcher!" There is a dive directly at Dolemeck, the attack harsh, well thought, and aggressive.

	"DON'T CALL ME THAT! DON'T STICK YOUR INFIDEL SLURS ON ME!" The attacks are even harsher now, but the rage is now blinding her. The attacks, while vicious, are becoming sloppier and more wild. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
