[The Twins]

The Twins took Teri's instructions to go search the library, although neither of them knew what a library was. They've never seen a book before either, but Teri didn't know that and they didn't bother to ask what it was anyway.
They helped each other and took in all the surroundings. The things that they've never seen in their lives. Things they'e never imagined before. They were in complete awe. But they didn't say anything. They look at each other for a moment before moving forward. It took a little more effort to open the doors because the pressure of the water made the doors heavier than they seemed. They look around in awe at the room before them.

There's a light from above that brightens the entire room by itself. (If you try to look at it, you'll notice that it's not connected to anything. It's just a really bright light in the center of the room.) From floor to ceiling rose bookshelves along with many books. Although there were some empty spot on the shelves where other books should be. Surprisingly, none of these books or their pages have eroded away like normal books would if they they were submerged underwater. They seemed to be in perfect condition. In the center of the room were a few tables, but there weren't any chairs. (Neither of them knew how the tables stood in the room instead of floating around.) There were some books that lay open and pages drifted from side to side. At the very back of the room was a large window that overlooked the back of the castle. Although, you couldn't really see anything back there anyway. All that could be seen was long sea grass and smaller sea creatures. And on or two starfish that stuck on the glass.

The Twins start to look around whilst also admiring all the new sights. They start looking in opposite directions and meet in the middle, moving onto the next row of shelves and starting again. But they each turned up with nothing.
"Hey, do you know what this says?"
"Hmm... no I don't. What about this, does this say anything?"
"... No, I don't recognize it."

All the covers of the books had strange writing on it that they could not make out. It made no sense to them. Book after book, they flipped through pages and pages, each filled with the same strange writing. but neither of them could figure out what they said.
They repeated this process until they made their way to the back of the room, looking at two last shelves. Until Fleetfoot noticed something jutting out of the floor. A lone book that was covered in sand. Flyboy swims over, noticing that his brother found something and they wipe away the sand. It's in the same bold text that all the other books were, but this one had a symbol on it. They take the larger book to an empty table and start flipping through the pages and to their surprise, they find that there are pictures alongside the sentences. But they couldn't figure out what any of them were. They had never seen these things before. They almost looked similar to one of Sophia's drawings. They decide to keep this and take it to Teri and see if it's important in any way, hoping that she might be able to translate it for them.
