From the Nymeia perspective, water is something that can be shaped, poured, moved. This is important in creation mythology. Where Althyk (earth) created time and structure, Nymeia gave it fate and motion.

For other examples of water as a tool of fate, consider:
- Galadriel's mirror in a basin of water
- The Lady of the Lake offering Excalibur to King Aurthur
- The symbolism of ripples from a drop of water
- The 'breaking of waters' before childbirth

Wind doesn't have a monopoly on fate symbolism.
