The unaccounted factor though, relates to the last of your possessions, your ankh. From those eons imprisoned in the underworld, as a minor trait of your divinity you gained the aspect of death, for not even a god can leave the underworld without some effect. By no means is it an influence upon your nature or divinity, but death is now something you have godly familiarity with. Thus, you can understand and create texts of the afterlife, such as Books of the Dead as an example. These things would have little bearing on you, but they are another, separate divine toolbox available to you so to speak.

In accounting for your belongings and some of your abilities, you come to reminisce of times past, and your divine counterparts... their names to your lips, brings tears to your eyes. For how long you had been furious at them for your imprisonment, eons beneath the underworld river with not but the passing dead for company. Your initial banishment to the mortal world for refusing to take on the aspect of an animal like the rest of them (they sought to give you the head of a cow!) and then subsequent punishment to the underworld for loving the mortals too much... begetting a demigod son, the very first pharaoh. How long you had hated them for this, but after your escape and inability to find them after eons, you now fear for the worst. The thought of their absence from the world, all that hate seems so petty and washes away with your tears. Only the longing to see them again, all that remains.
Ah, but grief is unbecoming of a goddess. You must be strong for their sake, and yours. Whatever became of your divine companions, you know they would never forgive you for letting humanity perish under your watch. In fact, past grievances or not, you don't expect the other gods would object to leaning on their power. I may be that you cannot call on them for assistance, but details of their divinity such as artifacts, may be an option for you. Strange to consider, distasteful even, for you. But until you find reason or evidence otherwise, it may be that you now stand at the head of the old pantheon... alone.
For now though you focus on what you know; your belongings, your capabilities, and your divinity. These divine tools for you to wield in the struggle the humans now face, with the hope of saving them or helping them find a noble end. Although you expect some difficulty with the present (and mainstay) opposing religion, their one god, it's not as though you seek to displace or usurp such a role in their faith... right? In any case, for all the faith that they have, how many of the mortals can deny the truth before them if and when you should display and wield your own divinity? In their time of need, they ought to reconcile any sort of religious crisis they may feel, if they want any hope of escaping extinction.
