A/N: Here is something a little different for all of you.
"Okay tonight is going to be a little different from usual guys. Deaton has been bugging me like crazy to share more about myself with you guys for reasons that no one knows", Stiles snuggled up closer to Jackson, resting his head on the warm shoulder of the boy while Jackson popped his head on top of Stiles' head. "Hopefully all of you are intelligent enough to realise I am a mage by now?" he said sarcastically while feeling a rumble in his boyfriend's chest and a mirroring chuckle from Derek across the room. Some of the girls giggled. "What? Why am I only learning this now?" Scott asked in mock surprise. "Yeah, we are your best friends. How come we are the last to know?" Issac laughed, hugging Scott. Stiles could help join in as he watched the two shaking with laughter fall to the floor and roll around.
"Well maybe it's just the others have a far superior intellect and you two are the twits of Beacon Hills?" replied Stiles trying to keep a straight face. Unfortunately it broke when both the boys looked at him hurt and exchanging a glance shifted tactic to puppy dog eyes and crawling to clutch at his knees. "Okay, I take it back", he ruffled each boys hair before they moved away. If it wasn't for the fact they were werewolves Stiles would have believed they were on a high from drugs. The atmosphere within the house was so joyful and playful, but those two were acting like four year olds.
"So you all know I am mage and a rather powerful one. But what else can you tell me about my supernatural side?"
Lydia jumped in before anyone else could, "Derek's confession of love ignited your spark, he was your anchor but now Jackson is. When you use too much magic you drain and food and rest is needed before you spring back to your usual perky self. You had an empathic ability but it almost killed you. You are telepathic but have trouble with reading the minds of Peter and myself."
The whole pack turned to look at her, including Stiles who was open mouthed. "How do you know I am having trouble reading your and Peter's minds?" Stiles asked. The girl just gave a shake of her head and tossed her strawberry blonde curls behind her before answering in a quick clipped tone "Deaton." Stiles shrugged that off for now, it wasn't really important. He guessed that Lydia and Peter had been learning how to close their minds to unwanted intrusions. "Does anyone else know anything?" Stiles called.
"Dragon's bell can be used to make a deadly poison for you but is quite rare, Salt works in a similar way to mountain ash does to most other supernatural creatures", Allison answered straight away.
"Two points for the girls", Stiles cried gleefully. "Any of the dudes have anything to add?" he smirked at them.
"An alpha werewolf's bite is different for a mage than a usual human. It is an irreversible and deadly poison death sentence", Derek mumbled. Stiles almost fell of the sofa as he heard that. He had forgotten he had told them that. "Yes that's right. Well I think that about covers everything I assume you know about me. But Deaton wants you to know so much more. One of the first things he wants you to know about is my ancestry. So this might come as a surprise to you but you have all heard of one of my ancestors."
"NO WAY, MAN!" Scott exclaimed, "Are you related to Merlin?" Stiles stiffened at the name and they could all tell immediately that he had said something wrong. Stiles had been prepared for it though; even if he hadn't been able to stop his reaction. "No and I will thank you never to mention that fools name in my presence again. I mean I know the druids have some sort of worship thing going for him that I will never understand, just not me. I never will." He paused as he looked over at Allison who looked a little surprised. "Your family will probably know her tales best because of the French connection. My ancestor was Morgana Le Fay." There were a few gasps and Jackson rubbed his arm soothingly.
"It's not as bad as you all think. The stories that surround Merlin, or Emyrs as the druids called him are a load of crap. During my research week with Ashley I discovered the truth. Merlin rose to great power and it is true he defended humans from many threats but he was a racist. Morgana strove to protect the people that Merlin refused to protect. She decided that it was not their fault for the lot that life had given them. She understood them. They battled as the legends say and as their children continued the fight they grew apart. Eventually the magical line of Merlin's descendants separated from the non magical. The non magical were given the honour of continuing the hunt." He waited for a moment as he let the idea sink in.
"Argent became the surname of the non magically gifted line of Merlin's descendants and they hunted the werewolves. The magical line died out after a few decades, when the werewolves took revenge. But the damage was done. Merlin had convinced all but a few mage families to persecute the wolves and those that refused flocked to Morgana's side to aid her." He paused as he heard everyone was breathing very quietly as if not to disturb the story. "So you and Allison are enemies then?" Cora asked. "No. She chose a separate path from the rest of her family. She follows the same path I do so though we could have been enemies once upon I time we aren't anymore."
He closed his eyes for a moment when he heard Allison whisper, "I am glad we fight alongside each other." "Me too", he smiled as he opened his eyes. "Okay there is a little more I promised to tell you because Deaton thought I should. So please just let me get through this so we can watch a film and relax. Right so while I was studying I came across a prophecy that Morgana herself declared. It said that her line of descendants would cease when a descendant of hers evaded death three times. They would return to the world changed after their third escape of deaths clutches and soon after would make history in the fight against her friends the werewolves. It isn't very clear obviously, but Deaton thought you might like to hear about it. And the last thing he pressed on me inform you of was the title, 'Le Fay'. Does anyone besides Allison know what it means?"
"It means 'of the fairies'", Derek breathed. "That's right", Stiles beamed. "The fey or fairies are powerful creatures and not cute little beings like Tinkerbell. Morgana had some sort of dealings with them that become shrouded in mystery but it is rumoured they placed ancient magic known only to the fey around the line of Morgana's descendants. Some of these rumours state that is the reason the Morgana line have magic controlled by the sub conscious, some say it will be what causes the last descendant to rise from death three times. I don't know much about it but if you assume the last is right then there would be a pretty hefty price for such magic. Whatever the deal was that Morgana made though it was said she happily paid it knowing her last descendant would one day thank her for it."
