"How does he know all about Celtic symbols and druids?"
Gerard turned his attention to his granddaughter, "Know thy enemy, Allison. The other wolves had a relationship with the druids. They called them emissaries."
"Like my boss, Deaton."
Gerard got up from his chair which made the others stand as well, "Do you know the myth of Lycaon?"
"I know it's where we get the word lycanthropy."
Gerard opened a book up and started to go through the pages, "According to the myth, some Greek citizens believed they owed their lives more to Prometheus than to the Gods of Olympus. And some followers even took names to honor the titans instead of the Gods."
"Like Deucalion."
"The son of Prometheus." Gerard says out to them calmly, "Lycaon didn't just refuse to honor the gods-"
"He challenged them." Zelda says as she recognized the story easily because Briella had written this down for a book she was trying to write, "He invited Zeus to a banquet and then tried to serve him the flesh of a human being. Then Zeus got angry and blew the place apart with his lightning bolts and then punished Lycaon and his sons by turning them into wolves."
"You're not always a pretty face, aren't you?" Gerard chuckled at how uncomfortable she got, "But the part that's lesser known is how Lycaon sought out the druids to help turn him back to human."
"Why druids?"
"The belief was that the ancient druids knew how to shape-shift." Gerard answers while glancing around at the three teenagers, "They couldn't make Lycaon and his sons human again, but they did teach them how to shift back and forth. And so the druids became important advisors to the packs."
Cora looked at Briella and Stiles, "They keep us connected to humanity. But they're a secret even in the pack. Sometimes only the Alpha knows who the emissary is. Derek and I had no idea about Deaton."
"Or his sister, Morrell." Peter adds in.

Briella rubbed at the side of her head, she felt like she was getting a headache from everything she was learning, "She's an emissary too?"
"For the Alpha pack."
"Oh-" Briella covered her face with a sigh, "Fucking great..."
"Our guidance counselor?" Stiles demanded as he gawked over this information, "Why the hell don't you people tell me any of this stuff, huh? I shared some really intimate details with her."
"And did she give good advice?"
Stiles sank a bit as he thought this over, "Actually, yeah."
"That's what they do." Peter releases a sigh, "That's what Deaton did for Talia."
