But then I got bored, and started helping out with simple missions.Because of that ambush, I was stuck in a human-shape. At least I wasn't dead.But I'd never be able to shift back to my native form without crippling pains up that arm - until I could understand how humans loved - the subject that always left scholars of the ages mystified.Easy-peasy - for a goddess. ...Maybe.When Cats Ruled: Two scientists broke time - trying to travel in it. If they weren't so cute, I don't think I'd be as forgiving.Still, they have no clue what they just invented.In these days of overnight express delivery, they could make a fortune. And the same device could deliver ticking bombs to any government building or office building anywhere. Instantaneously.You'd think these scientists would have learned something after the Manhattan Project. And Nagasaki. And the Twin Towers.Nope. All these two young knuckleheads were trying to do was to prove the impossible was possible - and get some more funding to do it. I just can't tell them that what they were doing was the worst thing in history, I'd have to show them.

Because even if none of my science background helps me, my heart just melts anytime she talks to me.But if we're going to get back, we're going to have to do it soon - or I'll be stuck with her here for the rest of my life.While she lives on forever. Like she did before.Enemies & Bookends: It was either leave these four trapped in ancient times, or risk their lives to save our world in the present.Helluva choice.It they died, we'd all be dead soon after.If we tried anything without them, we'd die just a little later - but still dead.Because evil doesn't take opposition lightly - unless it's overwhelming.

Peer Gynt
Peer Gynt is Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's most celebrated work, based loosely on the Scandinavian fairy tale character, Per Gynt. First published in 1867, Peer Gynt tells of the adventures of the seemingly amoral character of that name.The five-act play starts with Peer running off with the bride at another man's wedding, and continues in a similar vein, including (but not limited to) outrageous adventures such as his drunken interactions with three amorous dairymaids who are waiting to be courted by trolls; his meeting the king of the mountain trolls; his departure to North Africa (where he earns money from the slave trade and sending idols to China); his adoption by a Bedouin tribe as prophet; his move to Egypt and his conversations with the Sphinx; and finally, his return home where he is confronted with an accounting of his life, and all the things that he has done wrong.In a dramatic final scene, he is confronted with the Button-moulder, who maintains that Peer's soul must be melted down with other faulty goods unless he can explain when and where in life he has been "himself."Ibsen's play has been performed, debated, studied, and "interpreted" at the highest academic institutions across the world.In essence it tells of man's striving to be better-and is an extreme example of man's fall. Gynt is mysteriously attractive to women, a narcissist, a self-idolator, a liar, and a self-deceiver. But finally, he is called to account, and finds a way to justify his actions and to become a better person.Does he succeed? This remains the burning question . . .Ibsen asked the composer Edvard Grieg to compose music for the play-which was done, the most famous of which became the suite popularly known as In the Hall of the Mountain King.
