Yami grits his teeth and tries moving his stiff and tingling leg. He's able to take a few awkward steps away from the puddle of goop. "Awkwardly," he answers. "But in my experience, where there's one puddle of that stuff, there's more." He squeezes his eyes shut and opens them again, the blurred edges fading only a little from his vision. "I can barely see... we need light."
He closes his eyes again, more gently this time, and whispers, "Netrey-Neb Ra, redi wi Chedjedjewet-Tjen."
The All-Seeing Eye appears on Yami's forehead again, blazing brightly, along with a sword-shaped beam of light in Yami's hand. April gets one of those light-swords too. Ra is apparently feeling quite generous today.
Yami's eyes survey their surroundings, now much more brightly illuminated. There's still no visible geography, but they are surrounded by the black goop, along with several indistinct shapes seemingly made of shadows, with glowing red eyes. There are a variety of different shapes, from humanoid things to monsters that very much resemble dragons or other mythical beasts, and not just those from Egyptian mythology either. The shapes run the gamut of cultures, from Norse to Greek and Roman to Mayan, with, of course the obligatory Egyptian beasties.
Behind all of those shades is a monster that acutally seems kind of thin and gangly. Its head is huge compared to its body. It has six eyes, several spikes protruding from its head, and is quite pale. It has no legs. Unlike the creatures surrounding it, it is quite distinct and visible.
"Oh come on," Yami sighs, exasperated, directing his words to the monster behind the shades. "The Crawler? Really? Can't You be more original?"
"Per-a'a Tepeysa-Yami," the head beast hisses. "We know not what you mean. You are responsible for this."
Ancient Egyptian says: "Blessed Lord Ra, lend me Your Light". ...I hope.
