Thalassa
They created the monster
Perhaps in a competition of stubbornness, one of the participants had to be incapacitated in order for things to end without death. Unluckily for Thal, she was obviously the weaker of the two, and already injured. Having felt the place that Melita's body had hit on her tail, she turned her head and lunged forward with the intention of attacking again. Water sprayed up around her, obscuring her vision and making enough noise to leave her unable to notice the incoming arrow.
The demigod may have aimed for the back, but Thal's movement put her facing down the projectile, earning her a powerful, close-range smack in the temple.
Shaking her head at the throbbing pain that radiated through her skull, she tried futilely to continue her charge, only to find herself knee-deep in water, dazed. The blow had left her brain fuzzy, pulling enough concentration to force her back into her Ancient form. If that wasn't indication enough for her loss, the blood streaming from her head, side, and leg was pretty obvious as it stained the water red around her.
