Chapter 9: Age nine
It's been a year since the incident that's Zarc created and he is in his room, holding the doll that he got from his mother's shop. Zarc looked at the doll and wonder if he can make one as well. So in just squinch, he ran downstairs and he find odd eyes, making a sandwich for lunch. "Odd eyes, do you have a moment?" Zarc asked, holding the doll. Odd eyes finished and serves it to Zarc, "It depends, why?" Zarc then explained about the doll thing and asked if he can try to make one. Odd eyes scratched his head in confusion but Hey! If Saria can do it, so can Zarc. "I suppose it's worth a try." Odd eyes answered, "Just as long I don't clean up after you." Zarc nodded then got to the table where his lunch is at. "Right now boy." Odd eyes spoke, "Eat your lunch just for me." Zarc nodded then eats his lunch.
Little later, Odd eyes and Zarc got everything they need to make a doll. Even though it is a big task, Zarc might do it in a heartbeat. Zarc sat down with the items then starts working. Minute by minute, bit by bit, he failed but doesn't give up. After hours of trying to do a porcelain doll, he figures out he is not as great as his mom does, but what he learned he can make plush dolls. Yea all he need is fabric and stuffing and bingo! He created a doll. So he worked again and it came out like a Raggedy Ann doll except, quite different. But it's not his talent, he want to do something that has something to do with the dolls. What is it he is good at? Then he remembered something. He remembered when Saria was alive, she put on make up as carefully as she can. So Zarc went upstairs and into the bathroom where his parents used to go to. He went through each cupboard and found his mom's make up kit. From the looks of it, it is all velvety red with the words Saria in a black cursive thread work. Zarc opened up the kit and find vibrant colored makeup in different forms: Sticks, brushes, shadows, anything that a girl can use. Zarc pulled out a pink lipstick then begins to apply it.
A little later, Zarc came out in a good attire of makeup: Rose gold eyeshadow, light pink blush, pink lipstick, mascara, eye liner, and even painted his nails. When he came downstairs, the dragons got in shocked. "What?" Zarc asked, "Don't I look good?" Yes, Zarc did a really good job but he shouldn't be in his mom's make up. Clear Wing goes to Zarc and placed his hand on Zarc's shoulder. "Zarc, I'll tell you when the fashion show is hiring." Zarc looked confused but yet they did like it. Right? Zarc smiled warmly and hugged the dragons. "I must admit," Starve venom spoke, "you not as great in making porcelain dolls, but you are very good at makeup." Zarc giggles with a bashful look. "Come on." Clear wing spoke, "Let's get you cleaned up." As Clear wing picked Zarc up, he went upstairs to give him a bath. "Just next time Zarc, keep your paws off of your mother's stuff." Zarc looked up and thought 'Huh, guess I do have a special talent of dolly cosmetics after all.'
