Try to force her way out

With little choice, Kasha was forced to rely on brute force. Drawing a thicker, heavier dagger from her hip, she swung it with all her strength to cut through the wooden bars trapping her.

At least, she thought they were wood, but the blade bounced off like they were metal.

This was almost like a bird cage...

Just as Kasha had that thought, the song that seemed to come from all around her got louder.

Turning her attention from the bars, Kasha tried cutting through the floor, but with no success.

The music grew even louder, and Kasha began to hum along.

Kasha tried to force her dagger through the roof of the gazebo, but again wasn't even able to leave a scratch.

The music grew even louder, and Kasha began to sing without noticing.

Although it was not a song of elves or humans, it was the song of birds, a wordless melody.

Even as she tried in vain to find a way out, Kasha continued to sing.

As she sang, she began to change. Her clothes seemed to vanish, leaving her nude. Then, golden feathers of a similar color to her hair began to sprout all over her body, covering her from the neck to her knees. Her feet changed as well, becoming the thin feet of a bird.

Soon enough, it was not an elf that stood in the cage, but a harpy.

As she continued to sing, she forgot all about her efforts to escape her cage.

Soon enough, Kasha was simply another decoration in the garden, one that could be admired by any future guests to the Mischievous Mansion.

BAD END
