[Video]

[Well, someone's finally figured out that camera option.  The video whips about, smoothly, but too fast to be handled by an experienced cameraman.  And it moves in strange ways - one moment three or four feet off the ground, then shooting straight up into the branches of a tree, weaving about at dizzying speed in and out of the long leaves and vines.  Then it somersaults to mere inches above the soil and snakes through the underbrush, focusing on the glitter of a beetle, a shimmering spider's web, a moth blending into the bark of the nearest tree.  This wild, stomach-churning ride is accompanied by a soundtrack of high, girlish laughter that fades in and out depending on how fascinated the cameraman is on any particular subject.  The roller coaster finally stops at the crown of an enormous deciduous tree and pans slowly across the vista of heavily wooded mountain slopes.  An arrogant young girl's voice, with a very clear Irish accent, comes from someone off-screen.]

This is nothing like my forest.  It's younger.  And wetter.  The air's all thick with water, and there's no guardian!  Not one as good as me, anyway.  The animals were frightened of me, at first, and that's a sure sign.  Comes of letting all these people ruin the forest.  They'll learn better.  Till I can find my way home, I'll take care of this place.  It will be MINE.

[The last word comes out in an intense, sing-song whisper, and leaves a sort of odd ringing in the ears of the watcher.  The camera promptly dives straight for the ground and shuts off just before impact.]

Must not be a Finnish spirit then. But you are a forest spirit, right? Ah, am I totally mixed up...!

Well, myself, for one. Nothing else here is, though. That's why I thought I'd ask! I haven't seen a forest spirit in a long time, I think that's why I got confused.

Back home, sometimes, but not ever here!

Not from me, they know me. I didn't mean to startle you if you meant to hide though.

[ not that a video was especially conductive to being unseen, though he wouldn't expect one of the folk to know it. ]

Hopefully the forest would have been better looked-after if there were. I think it's just you in there.

That's kind of you! Hey, is there anything you like left out for you? I know someone who leaves porridge for his, but that's not for everyone...

Oh, okay. My name is Finland, if you ever do need something, feel free to let me know!
