"The term Lycanthrope is derived from the Greek myth of Lycaon, the king of Arcadia. Renowned for his cruelty, he was later transformed into a wolf, by Zeus. Turned into a monster, as punishment for his own monstrous actions. But Lycanthrope, as we all know, is just another name for werewolf."

Scott, Stiles, and Mercy looked at each other in surprise, as the man on screen continued talking.

"The half man, half wolf legend, which appears in dozens of different cultures from the volcanoes of Lithuania to the walcolic of Russia, to the more commonly known flu guru of France. Not contrary to some belief, the werewolves abilities are not beholden to the full moon, rather they can be called upon at will. Now those abilities are ranging from incredible speed to remarkable agility. Able to move in the by petal run, while equally adept as a weapon. Yes, I'm aware of Lycanthropy, the psychological disorder in which a person mistakenly believe themselves to be a wild animal. I'm not here to discuss that. I'm not talking about the disorder of the mind. I'm talking about werewolves. The actual and proven existence of werewolves."

When the video ends, Stiles looks at Scott. "This is your guy. This, is your cure."

"So who is he?" Mercy and Scott ask in sync, looking at each other. "Well, his real name's Dr. Conrad Haberlind." Stiles explained.

"What do you mean his real name?" Mercy repeated.

"He had it legally changed." Stiles responded. "And that's how I know I got the right guy. Want to know what he changed it to? Dr. Conrad Fenris."

Scott and Mercy look at Stiles blankly, causing his to roll his eyes at their cluelessness.

"Are you serious?" Scott finally asks. "Yes!" Stiles exclaims, a small smirk on his face.

When Scott doesn't say anything else, Stiles sighs. "You two have no idea what that means, do you?"

"No."

"Not a clue."

"Okay, well..." Stiles started. "Fenris was the son of Loki in Norse mythology, okay? Here."

He holds his phone out, so Mercy and Scott can get a glimpse of the beast on screen. It's a drawing, but it gives a pretty good idea of what the thing would look like in person.

"See?"

"Was he the guy on the horse?" Scott asks dumbly. "He's the wolf, dumbass!" Stiles exclaimed, making Mercy snort.
