Bitsey awoke the next morning smelling bacon and eggs, and not like how Patsey makes them but actual eggs like how her mom made ‘em.  She walked out of her room in her nightgown and saw Erik making some..  “Mmmmn, eggs.” She said as she walked up to the pan.  “Yours is on the table, Bit.” Erik said, as he put some eggs on a plate and sat with Bit.  

After breakfast Bit headed to the library and Erik went to the field.  Bit looked through the library for books on the Tendosian rebellion and found a book titled “Stars over Tendosia” written by Jacklin Barossa.  Bit opened the book and started to read the index.  Ch. 1) the rise of the Tendosian Empire
Ch. 2) rebellion
Ch. 3) the southern rebels
Ch. 4) the northern rebels
Ch. 5) the fall of Tendo
Ch. 6) the collapse of the rebellion
Ch. 7) the Galian invasion
Ch. 8) fire in Tendo
Ch.9) Zendia and Cuzaria
Ch. 10) wars in peacetime
Ch. 11) modern Tendosia

She sat down on a couch and started to read it. “Ch. 1) Rise of the Tendosian Empire:  Tendo was once more than a city, but an actual empire that experienced a great number of riches, leaders, and scholars.  When Tendo was created it was to be a land away from the marshes of the coast and away from the Mountains of the inland.  After Tendo was created many towns and villages arose around it and soon all the people agreed to be ruled by Jose the beautiful.  Jose was never cut out to be a king though, as famine and disease spread throughout Tendosia.  After his 8 year rule Jose the beautiful was overthrown by General Alekzander the warrior, Alekzander was very much better as he expanded the small nation into a kingdom which included taking over the Marshlands and the foothills leading to the mountains.”  “Bitsey Barker, what brings you here so early in the morning?” A familiar voice said.  Bitsey turned around and saw Travis.  “Oh, hi, I was just catching up on my Tendosia knowledge. ^^;”  “Really? Are you from Tendo?”  He asked.  “No, but, I have some history there…”  “Oh, I’ll leave you alone than.”  Travis grabbed a book and walked away.

“Ch. 2) Rebellion:  After the Queen of the Tendosian Banking Cleo Kuzhey and king of the Tendosian economy Marcus Kuzhey retired and lived in peace in the southern country, the economy started steadily fall and with the Cuzarian-Zendian War in their own side yards, the Tendosian nation became weak and powerless to stop the displeasing people.  Soon a gopher named Gerard Basin lead a team of farmers into a city and laid siege upon them.  3 weeks went by and the city crumbled under the might of the farmers.  After seeing this Gerard started to organize a military to quell his own ambitions.  “Hey Bitsey.” Erik said as Bit jumped in surprise.  “Oh, hi, you scared me there, what’s up?”  “Oh just got back from practice, I need a shower, what book you got there you lil worm?”  Bitsey blushed as she looked back at the book.

“Well, it’s called  ‘Stars over Tendosia’ and it’s about the city and nation of Tendo.”

“Oh, interesting, after I get from the shower you need to tell me about it.”

“Ok, I will.”

General Basin was what people started to call him as he went through the lands taking whatever he wanted.  Weapons, supplies, he spoke on much about taking over the city and nation of Tendosia.  After a few weeks the military send assassins after him, but that sparked more controversy and more people joined in the rebellion.  

Bitsey woke up the next morning after spending almost all night reading that book; she has yet to find her mother’s name in it.  She knows that her mother is in the book somewhere…  Erik Fisher made waffles but was already gone when Bitsey woke up.  She went to her classes but afterwards stuck her nose back into that book.  She found an interesting part in chapter 5 though…

Ch. 5) the fall of Tendo:  After the Northern and Southern rebellions teamed up they laid a siege on the city of Tendo.  The Pro A. Football team evacuated and played in a small town while the siege was on.  Sheba Kuzhey, the “princess” of Tendosia, and Jasper Barker, a former Galian.  Together the two fought their way through vicious street fighting, and in one single week fought though 5 of Tendo’s 11 miles, and all that included the museum, stadium, and all the way up to the inner walls.  Bitsey looked up to see Erik walk in holding his padding as he walked to his room.

She went to her usual classes and read more on the book, and actually found out that Sheba and Jasper were captured, which started the collapse of the rebellion.  She wasn’t at all interested in anything else.  But days and weeks slipped away from her as she read the book every day.  “Sheba and Jasper were the last to be executed, but just before the executioner pulled the lever The Galian Army made their way to the town center and attacked the people, letting Jasper and Sheba escape.  They were never seen again.”  Bitsey looked through the rest of the book but didn’t find their names again.  Bitsey woke up hearing Erik and Travis talking about strategies for the sport.  Bitsey stretched and walked out in her nightgown again.  Travis whistled at her.  “Mornin’ cutie” he said as he sipped some coffee.  Bitsey looked at him and replied “yah, mornin’, what time is it?  Erik replied, “4:25 am.  On the last day of summer school.”

“What???” Bitsey said!

“Yah, did you loose time my dear?” Erik replied.

“Well, sorta, I guess…” Bitsey said as she fell into a chair.

“Anyways, Erik, The coach isn’t gonna like you making all these changes to the play book, but the defenses you face won’t either.  If you want to change them you can but make sure the coach knows ok.”  

“Fine, I will.”  Erik said.  “Oh, Bitsey, your friend called she would like for you to go to Oak Hill in Cuzaria to meet her.” Erik said.

“Um, ok, do you know who?”

“Yah, a girl named Mary, I think.” He replied.
