Tantarian?
Par. 1 - Well, it's a book. You don't expect to fight a book. You'll only battle Tantarian once.
Par. 2 - If the "Family reunion" is the ATE of the Nero brothers meeting up (which seems likely), then you can fight Tantarian shortly after, I think. Actually, you can fight him earlier (on disc 2) but I'm taking a chance. Everyone may not know, and all that.
Par. 3 - "Dry fly Annie", eh? Well, I'm guessing this is some sort of code to find the name of the answer. I looked around a little but I couldn't think of any excuses for my guess for this line, except that Ann (as in Tantari-Ann) could be a shorter name for Annie. I know, it's a long shot. :)
The last line could simply be a filler, but in this case it could refer to the Tantarian's way of speaking ("I've been found!", "See ya!").
