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?"

Dolemeck suddenly bolted out of his bed, tearing some of his stitches in the process, as he slammed Derek up against the wall of his hospital room. His eyes glowing red for a brief moment as he did so.

"Listen to me, Khan, and listen well!" he hissed, looking directly at Derek. "My name was sullied over a thousand years ago. I was stripped of my title as a Knight before being sent into limbo. My nobility, my honor, all gone. So I am NOT a good Knight at all. You however, have the makings of a great leader. Leaders make tough calls all the time, some they may not be proud of. But one day, you will realize that you did make the right call on this day and feel proud of it. We prevented those swords from ending up in the hands of a madwoman. That is all that should matter!"

He then released Derek and started to head back to his bed.

"Arthur did not want to send any of his Knights to their deaths, but he knew sacrifices needed to be made for a greater good. While he may have been friends with many of us, even family to a few, he knew what was best for the kingdom. You best learn that now, before such choices hurt you in the future, young Khan." He hissed some, but ignored the torn stitches as he climbed back into his bed.

"And to be honest with you, I was hoping I would fall in battle this time, Khan. That is a selfish thing for a Knight, and why I am not a good one."

He didn't feel any pain from the slam. No, the pain came not from the physical act. it was seeing the blood that came form obvious stitch breaks.

"Dolemeck, you need to stop this crap. You have a lifetime to make up for whatever sullying your name had. You survived Limbo! You regained your soul! You regained your memories! And you fought and survived against a sword with a history and personality! And you're telling me that instead of working to regain your name and life, you just wanted to be killed? As if *that* would give back your honor? As if your death would make everything okay? It wouldn't!"

Derek moves away from the wall, then with a quick movement, hits it again. The wall has small cracks on it.

"Imagine what would happen to us all. Your mom and dad, my aunt and uncle, would be heartbroken. I would probably be pissed off. To the point that I wouldn't be careful anymore. Broken walls, broken bones...I don't want to do that. But would I care anymore?"

"I don't want you dead, because then where would that leave all of us?"

Dolemeck groaned, clutching his head in his hands as he sat on the bed. While his memories had returned, some of the memories he created with Atlas were pushed to the side. Bob and Venus treated him well. Derek always took care of him, along with Jimmy. He just felt so confused on everything. His real family was dead, his new family loved him, Derek depended on him, but so did his long dead King. All of this was giving him a headache, and the torn stitches in his back were not helping any.

"I just... do not belong here. I never did! I need to... I need... I need help. It is far too confusing, all of it!"

"Dole...don't say that, man. I can understand with everything coming back to you it would feel that way, but you have a new family, a new bunch of people that need help."

Derek sighs. They'll have to pay to fix that bit of the wall, but right now he needs to get something through to Dolemeck.

"You need some help. I don't know if I'm good enough to help you, but you need to think on getting help."

"I do not know where to get help, Derek. I still feel lost in this world." He had only been living in this day and age for fourteen years. Derek had to bring him to the hospital when he was injured during the robbery! Atlas had to teach him so much in a short period of time, and even that was not enough. "I honestly am at a loss as to what I should do. Derek, what do I do?"
