Thalassa
They created the monster
Hearing the caw, Thal turned her head to see where Maea had drifted off to. She lifted her legs enough not to scrape the waters and scare away any potential prey. Her wings tilted to carry her closer, still hovering just above the cresting of the waves, close enough to feel the damp breeze that rose up. It didn't hinder her ability to spot the dark figures hunting just below, the ones in pursuit of the fish.
Keeping her shadow from spooking the school, she drifted down until she was a breath from the surface - watching, waiting. As the orca made its move, Thal used the chaos to plunge her head into the water, the sharp teeth of her open mouth acting like a fishhook, skewering three who had been attempting to escape the predator they knew of, straight into the mouth of the one they hadn't noticed.
When Thal lifted her head, their flapping tails had weakened to the occasional flick. She gained altitude before shifted her flight to hover in place, tail dangling above the ocean as she gave Maea a grumble of pride, offering forth the fresh catch should she want one.

and then asked why I bite.
