Rumor watched the water go by his window as the boat continued its automatic course to the underwater library. When it stopped a computer animated voice told him that they were now right above the building. Rumor nodded to himself before going down three floors arriving at the hanger. In the room there was his briefcase along with thirteen large piles of paper. He hit the button opening the bottom and forced the paper out through the rushing water. Using all of the paper in the room he made a connecting tunnel between the underwater building and the bottom of the boat. Rumor picked up his briefcase and began walking down.

Once out of the paper connector Rumor began the long walk through the building trying to sense the book. The corridors were so filled with other books though that it was hard to place where it was and he kept getting nothing more then the general direction of where he needed to go. The building itself was molded in such a way that it looked like what one would expect the underwater utopia of Atlantis to look like with large Greek and roman arches and statues place randomly around. The place was really quiet so the sound of his own footsteps resounded back at him. He stopped walking when a different sound reached his ears much like a growl but also a hiss at the same time. Rumor turned back to see what would be making such a weird noise to see a large lion dominating the area off the hallway directly behind him. Instead of a tail the lion had a snake and on its back were two large wings that were curretnly folded up against its body.

Rumor backed up some since close combat really wasn't his strong suit. He placed down his suitcase and drew out his bow from the holster of paper he had on his leg. Firing off two arrows he found out another thing this odd beast was capable off. Breathing fire. His arrows were turned to ash and he was just able to dodge the flames before they went by him exploding against the wall behind him. He ran forward firing four more arrows before changing his bow into two thin swords and jumping up over the creature throwing them into the beasts back while its snake tail darted out to bite him. Rumor was forced to teleport just to avoid it as the beasts was impaled with his four arrows.

He smirked causing the paper to burst killing the beast.

Picking back up his suitcase Rumor resumed walking down the hallway being able to hear more of the lion like creatures in the distance in almost every direction. Without having to fight another one Rumor made it to a large golden door that he opened slowly and crept inside. In the middle of the room was a large pedestal with the book he was looking for laid on it with utmost care. Rumor smiled running over to the book and running his hand along its spine. As he lifted it up a trap was triggered sending bursts of flame at him from every corner, wall and surface in the room. Acting quickly he jumped up onto the pedestal dragging out a roll of paper from his suitcase and spinning it around him to make a protective sphere that he was able to wait out the flames in. Once the fire had died down Rumor retracted the paper into his suitcase and hopped down from the pedestal and onto the ground before walking from the room. "Opening main windows in fifteen minutes" an automated voice said followed by a loud click that was heard from everywhere at once. The windows safety lock was disengaged and each one began to slowly rise leaking water into the building.

Rumor began running down the hallway moving towards the tunnel of paper he made. He sloshed through the water which was rapidly rising around him freezing all of the skin it touched. Pulling out a paper cube Rumor threw it in front of him jumping out of the water after it and landing in a paper boat. Taking the remaining paper from his holster he made a paddle and began moving down the hallway at a slow pace. When the ceiling became alarmingly to close for comfort he turned the paddle into a small small spinning fan and put it in the water behind him and let it push him forward faster. He splashed into the tunnel just as the water filled up the whole of the underwater library filled up. Turning the boat into a paper bird he grabbed its leg and flew back up to the boat closing the tunnel up behind him.
