This has really never happened to him before.

Not quite like this, anyway. Dunked in water, sure. Everyone sees the guy that's on fire and thinks 'oh, what if we put water on that?' It usually amounts to a temporary inconvenience at worst, unless it's in the hands of another fae, and even so...

Not when he's already unleashing his Domain. Not when he's had the opportunity to let loose like this, no amount of water should be enough to get in his way. Yet, as the water pours in, the flames are smothered, and he is smothered as well.

It's not like it extinguishes him like a candle flame. He's made of sturdier stuff like that. What should be happening, however, is his flames turning all of that water to gas the instant it touches him. Instead, it's only the water closest to his body bubbling and steaming, slipping into the water above him as his flames flicker and struggle against the inhospitable climate.

He's dazed by it all, and even just existing here feels difficult. Rita, though... she's the one that trapped him here, she made that circle. So he has to take her down. That's the way it has to go, he doesn't have a choice.

Staggering under the weight of the water, he draws his other sword, taking the two blades and holding them out in front of him. The metal of the weapons breaks off, melting instantly into molten metal and breaking into parts, swelling in size and burning red against the water.

The blades of superheated metal zip through the water zip through the water to wards Rita. She may be fireproof, but she isn't metal-proof.
