I'd like to bring it to everyone's attention on how Callum scrambles to get to Rayla when in life-threatening moments.
From season 3

Season 4

And season 5!

He literally reaches one hand out all the time, ready to get his girl. He always shouts her name every time. If your partner isn't scrambling to check on you when put into life-threatening situations, then what are you doing?

When Callum passes, one of the birds from his funeral rites flies to Rayla and nestles onto her shoulder. It stays with her in the months (or years) that follow, greeting her every morning, singing to her, comforting her in times of sadness.
It’s his way of watching over her, even when he’s gone.

Callum: Don’t lay a hand on my friends, or—
Poor Unfortunate Soul: Or what, lol, I’m going to jail?
Callum: No *lifts staff* I’m going to jail.

Fuel the Pyre - Chapter 6
Tumblr media
Summary: For almost a decade now, life has been peaceful for the royal family of Katolis. All out war is becoming a distant memory as efforts to unite the continent continue. Open borders let more than friends in, however, and whispers of dangers lurking in the shadows are growing louder and more insistent.
Callum, Rayla and their adopted daughter Tio have bee trying to ignore the growing unease as best they can, but when the threat comes banging at their door, they can no longer turn a blind eye.
Pairing: Rayla/Callum
Rating: Mature
AO3 Link: Fuel the Pyre
“The less people know we’re leaving, the better.” Callum paused at the door, eyes drifting to Tio for a moment. Maybe he was being overly cautious, but Ezran would understand. Tio too. What was more important was safety and secrecy. “I don’t want to make a scene. We should tell people we’re going out to the countryside for the day. Maybe to the ponds? If anyone comes looking for us, that’ll send them in the opposite direction. It might give us time.”
Rayla frowned at him, nodding softly.
“What?” Stopping, Callum turned to give her his full attention. He could see how conflicted she was about this whole thing, warring with herself.
“I just really hope we’re overreacting, that’s all.” She rubbed her temple.
“Me too.” Callum opened the door, pausing in the threshold. Maybe they were fleeing for nothing. Maybe this would all blow over and they’d come back to annoyance and disapproval. He was willing to weather that storm though. “But I’d rather overreact, than the alternative.”

i love it when characters are unfair, actually. i love it when they’re uncouth and cranky and hypocritical, i love it when they have cognitive dissonances, i love it when they make good and bad choices for the wrong reasons. i love when they’re short to anger and hard to understand. i love it when they’ve destroyed themselves for nothing but can’t even see either part of it yet. i love it when they’re messy and selfish and bad at communicating. i love it when they get convinced of their own ego and stuck in a feedback loop regarding their own warped paranoia. i love it when characters actively make their lives unknowingly harder for themselves. i love it when characters don’t know they’re in a story. i love it when characters are like real people

Since a friend suggested I should be less snarky and dismissive of this idea, I’ll more seriously consider whether Callum will follow in Viren’s footsteps (or to be more accurate, since Viren is actually following s2 Callum’s footsteps, follow his own path from four seasons ago).
And after much thought, my opinion is…no, he won’t.
Callum's character arc doesn't seem to be leading him down the same path as Viren, and there are several reasons to believe he will not follow in Viren's footsteps. Wherad Claudia has fully embraced her dark side and Viren has completely rejected his, Callum seems to have settled on acceptance. This is symbolically represented by their color schemes: Claudia in black, Viren in white, and Callum in grey.

Even in a non-magical sense, Callum occupies a middle ground between Ezran and Rayla. Ezran typically rejects his inner darkness (with some exceptions), while Rayla had embraced hers until it became too much for her to bear. Callum, on the other hand, has come to accept that his darker nature is a part of him, even if he doesn't fully understand or control it yet. Given the context of the Ocean Arcanum, it appears that the show is suggesting Callum's balanced approach is the most prudent course of action, which is likely why he will continue to follow this path, despite the challenges it may present.
It's unlikely that Callum will succumb to his darkness and doom the world for the sake of his loved ones, as Claudia attempted to do. However, he’s also not going the path of the sacrificial martyr like Viren did.
Instead, Callum's journey seems to be one of finding accepting his inner dark side and navigating the complexities of his own nature, which sets him apart from the more extreme paths taken by other characters. In fact, it's much closer to Amaya, who first acknowledges her own capacity for malice...
Tumblr media
Amaya: She was cruel. And in truth...so was I.
Which in turn, gives us a hint for where things may go from here on out. Because while Callum has accepted that there's a side of him that can be dark and destructive, realizing this fact, giving him a connection to the Ocean Primal, also gives him the clarity to know he can always reflect on his past mistakes and grow beyond them.
Because as Amaya once said:

If you told me that Rayla would be bound and gagged by pirates (after being tortured in front of Callum, who decked her tormenter square in the nose for it) and lowered into the ocean to be ripped apart by sea monsters, only for a desperate Callum to break free of his own restraints with dark magic, then save her life and connect to the ocean arcanum out of his love for her, I’d say that came from a self-indulgent fanfic I’d never publish and not an actual scene in the show.
