In a moment of reflection, the protagonists observe the powerful deity Ra, who is supposed to embody strength and authority. Instead, they find him in a pitiful state, asleep and clutching his crook as if it were a comfort object. One character tries to enhance his powers by placing a war flail in his lap, but their efforts yield no positive results. The situation underscores Ra's decline from his once-mighty status.

Sadie's harsh comments about Ra highlight her disappointment and bitterness regarding the god's current state. The contrast between his glorious title and his present vulnerability illuminates a theme of lost power and the challenges the characters face in their quest. This moment serves to emphasize their struggle not only against external forces but also against the fading legacy of the gods themselves.
