[AN Fun Fact: this is based on one of the few stories we know in game about KoU! All the prompts about the Knights on Earth are based on the same thing, you can read about it at the Purple Pony in SSO!]
Their landing on Terra was not a smooth one, and the crash attracted the attention. Thankfully their Crystal Unicorns were cloaked, but they were torn between where they should set up camp.
"We came here to hide, Pearl! Why wouldn't we take shelter with the terrans?" Dawn argued, gesturing to the terran who had helped her out of her downed Crystal Unicorn.
"Because they don't know other life exists! You saw their technology, who knows how they'll react to finding out about us!" Pearl insisted, glancing at the stranger with Dawn.
"I'm human, actually, but I promise I can keep you hidden while you guys do... whatever you guys are doing. You're not trying to invade Earth, right?" he asked just to be sure. The different Knights snorted, laughed, or looked insulted at the question.
"You live on Terra, therefore you are a terran," Eclipse muttered, crossing her arms.
"Tithonus said the people here call their planet Earth," Dawn defended him.
"Whatever! They can't help us!" Eclipse snapped, not interested in entertaining foolish ideas.
"Do you know what is edible or poisonous? Or the weather patterns or how long a day is?" Tithonus pointed out, not backing down, "if you don't want a comfy place to sleep or warm food then fine, I'll be on my way-"
"No-!" Dawn started but was cut off by Pearl.
"Enough! Knights," she pinched the bridge of her nose, taking a deep breath before continuing, "he's right- Eclipse not now, we need all the help we can get." Eclipse pouted and crossed her arms, casting a worried glance at where her Crystal Unicorn was hidden. She didn't know what she would do if she couldn't repair her Crystal Unicorn.
"Now, Tyo- Tithn-"
"Tithonus," he corrected, nodding in the direction of his home.
"Tithonus, before we go, why are you helping us?" Pearl asked, fixing an assessing gaze on him, making him freeze before shrugging.
"Because that's what humans do, we help others. Besides, I don't want to make a terrible first impression for humanity, and during the holidays no less!" he added the second half with a laugh, waving for them to follow him. "Now c'mon, you'll definitely want some shelter before that snowstorm rolls in!"
The Knights of Unistria, with limited options, followed the human into the night.
