Despite the fact Zhenga was still young, she was quick to learn and displayed an intelligence not common among foals her age. She loved solving problems and trying to figure out the world around her, constantly asking her dam questions when she wasn't playing and enjoying the strange white powder that covered the ground.
After Zhenga's birth, when she'd first felt that strange substance beneath her, the filly had been a bit nervous and huddled under the safety of her dam's belly. Though, true to her curious persona, Zhenga had asked her dam what this stuff was, and why it was falling from the sky. Raxa had told her it was part of the earth's timeline, that the land went through four seasons that revolved around death and renewal so that it could remain healthy.
Zhenga knew she would figure out more about it one day, but right now, she wanted to play. The filly was quite happy to be bounding around in the snow, excited to be on the journey to the herd's new home. Already the filly had made a number of friends, including Nerius, a two-year-old colt through Raxa's friend, Anahi, and a couple other grown mares and stallions that traveled with them.
Zhenga had also been excited to meet her sire, Jedi, something Raxa seemed eager to do to. However, she did warn the filly to be careful about saying the words 'father' or 'dad' out loud. When Zhenga asked why, Raxa said that it was because she just got this feeling about Jedi and another mare in the herd. Zhenga's young age made it hard for the filly to understand really, but she let the topic go for the time.
When the snow began to vanish beneath their hooves, Zhenga snorted in displeasure; she'd been enjoying herself quite a bit. However, that disappointment quickly vanished when she saw what lay before her. The limited sunlight made it a bit difficult to see a whole lot, but she knew that when more became visible, she would grow to love this place.
Raxa asked her what she thought of the new home. Zhenga turned and smiled at her dam, an excited gleam in the filly's eyes, "It's so pretty mama!"
The filly pranced around a bit before noticing a spotted stallion - Kreios, she remembered - in the distance. Zhenga raced over, looking up at the older horse, "This place is so beautiful! Is it going to be our new home King Kreios?" she asked.
