Chapter 6: Age six
It is daylight, and we find Six year old Zarc riding his new bike (since his old one got ran over by a truck). Zarc is pretty happy and excited today and he then rode his bike upstairs, followed by the sound Zarc is making due to the steps. In the master bedroom, we find Arc and Saria asleep in their bed and the dragons are asleep on the floor in their own pet beds. As they sleep, Zarc busted the door down with his bike, making the door squish the tails of Clear wing, Dark Rebellion, Odd eyes, and Starve venom, waking them and Zarc then jumps off his bike and lands on his parents with a grunt not waking up. "Good morning daddy!" Greeted Zarc, "Good morning mama!" The parents are still not waking up. Zarc sat down on Arc who is still asleep. "Guys wake up." As Zarc tries to wake his parents. With force opening one eye, be upside down telling them to wake up, but nothing worked. Zarc then hops on his parents in excitement. "Mama! Daddy! Mama! Daddy" Zarv chanted as he the took the sleep shirt off of Arc a bit then grabs the chest hair, "Wake up!" With one hard tug in each hand, the hairs ripped right off of the chest, waking Arc up. Arc screamed in pain, waking up, and woke Saria up with such scream (a/n can you guess where I got such reference? Tee hee). Arc then grabbed the hopping child who still have some hairs from the chest in his hand each. "Zarc!" exclaimed the father who is confused, "What time is it?!" Zarc looked at his dad then dropped the hairs, "It's Grand Prix!" Soon a little later, Arc and Saria are in their duel racing suits. "The dueling Grand Prix." Saria spoke, "A one day to being home another trophy!" Saria lifted Zarc up in excitement as the son is the same. "YEAHHHHHH!"
Later at the Grand Prix, we find Saria checking her duel runner one last time before racing. She is going up against her husband since they fight in duel racing for years. This time she will get the trophy as she looks at the prize. Saria looked at her two dragons and her husband's who is playing with Zarc. "Boys." She called them in who is now listening to their mistress, "can you boys promised me and Arc something?" The dragons listened loud and clear. Saria took a deep breath then spoke, "If anything happens to me or Arc or even both, will you watch and take care of Zarc?" The dragons looked at each other. Of course they had been in the family for years but something like that would be a task. After all, they're the only family's zarc has. The dragons then looked at Saria once again. "Yes Saria." Clear wing answered, "We will take care of Zarc." Saria smiled warmly then gathered Clear Wing for her deck as Arc does the same thing with Starve venom. Once that is done, the married couple went to their duel runner heading to the starting line. "Go mama!" Cheered Zarv since he he is in front of the road (a/n front row seats for VIP). Of course, he still need to be kept an eye on by Odd eyes and Darkness rebellion.
Once the race starts, Saria and Arc started their engines and took off, dueling each other. It is an intense fight between the auto shop mechanic and a doll shop owner. As they duel each other, one monster then the next, along with traps and spells, something happened. Starve venom lost control. What's happening to him?! He is starting to get scared. Then it hits Arc. He remembered Starve venom couldn't stand that much speed in duel racing. In an effect, Starve venom released his vines and it went wild making the couple crash making a flammable pile. Before Arc and Saria gets seriously injured, they shot their dragons to the others, saving their lives. Then the accident happened, all in flame and duel with metal in a horrible pile. Arc died in the accident, having his neck broke along with his throat (a/n guess healing factor can heal puncture wounds on wind pipes but not on such fatal injury). Saria on the other hand, just her legs broken but the rest seriously injured and covered in blood. Zarc is scared for Saria. He then got up and away from the dragons, trying to get to his mom, trying to save her. "Mama!" Zarc cried as he tries to run to his mother. When Saria crawled out of the pile a little more, she saw the gasoline is going to flare up. Before the pile exploded to bits, blowing Zarc back, Saria whisper I love you with tears coming down her face. Zarc got up and saw the pile is in a huge flames, seeing his parents' death, he got traumatized and the dragons go to him to calm him. Zarc tears up. It can't be true. They can't die on him. But it did. Zarc let out one last cry of his mother's name, who had now became an orphan who is soon adopted by the parents', No! Zarc's dragons.
Two weeks later, a funeral took place. Zarc is holding his doll who is given by his mother, from her shelf, two years ago. At the church where he is at for the funeral, we find a coffin where the once alive but beautiful woman: Saria is in as next to her is a black urn, where it contains the ashes of Arc (a/n not everyone prefer to be buried people). Zarc goes to the coffin and looked at his mom. Saria as always, looked so stunning in sunlight, even in death. Her hair is in her signature braid. Her body was washed and dressed with Chinese silk and in her hand is her favorite flower: the Red dragon lily flower. Zarc tries to get taller so he can give his mother one last kiss goodbye, before she gets to be buried. Odd eyes, who is attending the funeral, helped Zarc and the young child kissed his mother on the forehead. Zarc is placed back down and Zarc gave his parents each a beautiful, wild daisy; hoping they won't ever forget him. Soon after the funeral and the burial of Saria and Arc (who still have the daisy with them), the dragons took Zarc home, letting one of his aunts, keep the doll shop alive and running. Once home, Zarc held his doll close, crying. Clear wing looked back at Zarc with emphathy, "Oh man, I feel sorry for the kid." Odd eyes nodded in agreement then goes to Zarc and hugs him. "Don't worry Zarc," Odd eyes reassured, "everything will be good again." Odd eyes then felt Zarc buried himself, sniffling, "I promise."
