WHAT IS IT?

[timepiececlock]

Here's a riddle I made up:

Always given, never earned,
follows after an unfortunate turn.
Of highest value, can't be bought,
trails behind the battles fought.

Winning Riddlers!

(I will add more as the correct answer is given, and screen the correct answers so people can keep guessing. I'll leave the wrong answers unscreened, though.)
