After my discussions with ANTIE, revealing much about myself and my parents and, only somehwat surprisinly, Dragon, I went to bed that night in the compound in a large bed that folded out of the wall near the staircase. That was after, of course, ANTIE showed me how to reconceal the outer door, effectively locking us in.
The next day, rather than asking ANTIE questions about my parents and myself, I told ANTIE about Luman. She had only a small bit of information on him. Specifically, that he was my uncle as he was my father's half brother. And while his parentage was unknown, he was believed to be at least half demon, if not full demon.
The hard part was telling ANTIE that Luman had said my father was dead, and that he saw him die. ANTIE did some kind of scan on Gaia, and confirmed that my father was no longer alive. I cried again for him, but only for a short while. I asked ANTIE if it was possible that Luman would target me next, and she confirmed my suspicions. With his interest in me known and his actions in the house a few days ago, it was obvious. Luman was targeting me.
And that's when ANTIE showed me the weaponry.
The frosted glass near the bookcases slid back to reveal an array of weapons that I think may have had Chazu and Dragon in awe. And that was just the easy-availability wall. The wall split down the middle, and the halves opened in to a huge weaponry. I looked at broadswords, samurai swords, enchanted swords, daggers, bows, compound bows, enchanted bows, regular arrows, poisoned arrows, silver-filled arrows (and so many more arrows that I had ANTIE stop the list short), guns of many sizes and shapes with different ammunition and even a few gunblades, grenades of different makes and substances including gaseous, blinding, paralyzing and magical nullifiers, different types of bombs and timers, laser weapons, and some things that ANTIE said I wasn't ready to know the names of, let alone touch. Her actual words were more like, "Rose, there are things you are better off not knowing about right now. Do not touch those along the back wall." and prompty set a flourescent line in the ground that I was not able to pass. Not like I was trying, really... my tow just slipped and hit the line. My elbow could not cross it, either, like some invisible wall.
But after I became overwhelmed by the weaponry, I asked ANTIE about getting some training done. That's when I found out about the holorooms. These, also, I was told not to ask about. And ANTIE said that there would be restrictions on them for now for my safety.
Then, for the next eight hours, I fought against whatever the holoroom threw at me. I battled creatures I'd never seen before, and some I had faint memories of. ANTIE filled me in on what they were, their origination, their habitats, their mannerisms, and anything else known about them, and even a few rumors.

I learned more about my powers and my strengths that day than I had in the last five years.
