Beloved or forsaken, he's either and neither. You can't pinpoint the exact nature of the child named as the Child of Calamity.
In fact, the day he was born is the day their small village got wiped out.
They're living in a small village located at the foot of the mountain where sunshine blesses them everyday with good light. Except for that day. Dark grayish, almost black clouds blocked the sun rays from passing through that day. They thought it's a simple rain, just a shower given by their water god. But it is not.
In their unimaginative heads, the villagers all thought that it's something that will eventually pass. But the rain continued for days. All while Rena Percival is having a hard time with her incoming child.
And while the thunderstorm continued to ravage their small houses, striking lightning anywhere, destroying properties, Rena gave birth to that child.
