    The first, second and fourth lines are all fairly expected "defying destiny" stuff, but it's the "withered bark" that has me wondering. I'll admit that my mind first thought of Exdeath....

    I've heard it suggested that "stock of withered bark" could refer to a disreputable branch of a family tree, i.e. disinherited offspring. Seems like a bit of a complicated metaphor, though.

    EDIT: Ooohhhhhhhh a scion like a tree cutting!

    I had a similar thought that it's in reference to the Imperial royal family. "Stock of withered bark" = the founding father was an Ascian. "Healthy growth" = new blood for the Empire in some way? Perhaps we'll see Zenos' siblings mentioned in the second lore book?
