The creatures, ranging from the ordinary to the extraordinary, surrounded the split corpses of Zuriel. Gryphons with wings outstretched, their noble forms now bowed with a sense of grief, stood alongside centaurian wardens with lowered bows. Nymphic sprites, once playful and ethereal, hovered somberly in the air, their tiny forms reflecting the melancholy of the moment.
Treant guardians, towering and ancient, loomed over the scene, their limbs adorned with blossoms and leaves that now seemed to droop in sorrow. Cerulean wisps, normally dancing with mischief, flickered in subdued tones, mirroring the collective mourning of the enchanted realm. Phoenix protectors, majestic and fiery, stood with subdued flames, their vibrant plumage now dimmed by the weight of loss.
