Penelope traveled through the crowd quietly. She kept towards the middle of the street, trying to remain out of the radar of the knights as she followed them at a distance. As soon as she spotted the cart with metal bars, she increased her pace slightly, not wanting to be too late to stop them from shoving Crow in. She smirked slightly as she noticed one knight moved ahead to unlock the door, leaving the other one holding Crow alone. 

The knight saw her chance and raced forward as the knight began to force Crow towards the cart. Without so much of a warning, she delivered a sharp punch to the knight’s head. It was enough to make him stumble backwards, releasing Crow in the process. He looked dazed as he seemed to take a moment to even realized he was being attacked by Penelope, who certainly looked the opposite of threatening in her peasant outfit.

With Crow and the knight separated, Penelope swept a leg out, which was notably a bit awkward for her to do in a dress, before the knight could truly recover from the punch. He fell to the ground with a hard thud and groaned. She turned her head to see the other knight had drawn his sword and was clearly angered by the sudden attack. 

“What the hell do you think are you doing?!” He roared at Penelope. He seemed as shock as the knight she had punched.

Penelope reached for her sword and then cringed. [i]Damn it![/i] She thought as she clutched her hand around nothing. Her side certainly felt empty without a proper weapon. She recovered quickly though and turned to Crow, grabbing his hand. “Time to go!” She said in a hurry before turning and taking off. She did have an idea of where she was heading in the slightest but figured they didn’t have the time to figure that out.
