No heros and villains - Open, Hallucination/Flashback

Gods...? For some reason, the mere mention of gods and their power was enough to make Fraggle stiffen, the boy suddenly feeling breathless. He didn't know why, though. It wasn't as if he had ever encountered a god himself. And yet... he felt so fearful. He felt like he could sympathize with Sethiram's plight, on a level that the other couldn't even begin to understand. Flashes of booming voices, soft white wings, and a flood of the world's suffering... and then it was gone. Shooed away by the gentle touch of Arlo's wing against his back. He was snapped back to reality, and endlessly grateful for it. Hoping that his sudden frozen state hadn't been too obvious, the cub then turned, offering Arlo a small smile.

When he turned his attention back to Seth, the boy spoke with a surprising sense of confidence, "Don't worry... they won't get to you here. We take care of our own in The Golden Eye, and that isn't gonna change for anyone, god or not. I know... I know that won't completely stop the nightmares, or the worries, but I hope it can give you some comfort. At least?" Fragglerock's words were a bit clumsy, but they were also incredibly genuine as well. He really did want Sethiram to feel safe and secure within The Golden Eye, and there was no way he was going to let anything jeopardize that. Sure, the boy was fairly sure he wasn't anywhere near strong enough to take on a god, but... that wouldn't stop him from trying.
