Penelope continued to fight alongside Gavin. As the battle continued on, they pushed forward with the rest of the knights, though often got stalled in their extra efforts to protect villagers. The female knight continued to keep an eye out for Crow but never managed to spot him amongst the crowd. Getting too distracted with her concern for the thief, she eventually received an injury to her side. Luckily the cut was minor though and didn't stop the knight from seeing the battle through to the end. 

The Younisian forces were finally beginning to fall back to the border and away from the village. Mia and Edward rode to the front of the battalion, commanding the rest of the battalion to a halt just beyond Grimsby. The barons made it clear that they weren't looking to push further into Younis today but rather just wanted to reclaim their own kingdom's territory. [i]Smart move.[/i] Penelope thought tiredly as she came to a stop amongst her comrades as the fighting began to die down. Sweeping her gaze over the other knights, it was clear to see that the two days of fighting was wearing them down. Most were panting and some even trembled with exhaustion as they held their weapons, ready incase the Younisians decided to regroup and attack again.

Looking ahead, Penelope watched as Mia and Edward focused their gazes on the Younisian baron, clearly waiting to see if he would dare to launch his troops back into battle. She held her breath as the moment seemed to drag on and was only broke as the Younisian baron spat something to his lieutenant then turned to lead his troops away from Brerra. A sense of relief and victory flooded over the Brerratic battalion. 

They weren't without loss though. As Penelope looked around, she was quick to notice most knights remained silent with tired looks. One of them being Gavin, who looked ahead with a dull gaze. The male knight let out a long sigh then turned to Penelope, forcing a small smile. "Well, looks like we won." He mused softly. "I'm just glad we can get back to camp now."

Penelope gave a small nod of agreement. "I just hope it means that it'll be awhile before we have to fight again."

The barons exchanged pleased looks with each other before moving on to round up the knights. "Everyone! We'll head back to the wagons tonight and rest." Edward announced loudly. "Tomorrow we'll make our trip back to camp and then we can properly celebrate our victory!"

There was a cheer of agreement from a small section of knights as they fell in step behind their baron. Penelope hesitated to follow, casting one last glance over her shoulder at the village. She hadn't seen Crow in either battle and she hoped that meant he had chosen to stay out of them. The female knight nearly felt tempted to sneak off to look for the thieves, just to double check. However, she knew that it wouldn't be wise. Instead she turned and followed the rest of her battalion as they walked deeper into the surrounding forest where the wagons were located.

She'd have to wait until their next meeting to find out if he was well. The thought made her frown, the wait already beginning to bug her. She already knew that the next few days would go by slower than she was hoping for in her eagerness to see him again. Penelope let out a long exhale and lowered her gaze as she fell in step besides Gavin.
