Xazenthliethian Troops began to hurt their people in 'Xazenthlieth' the unknown and understudied country behind the walls of the eight elemental kingdoms, Causing a fallen government and a society based on trust and rank.

How does he become engulfed in the arms of two dashing figures in a world that is not yet known to the universe, while experiencing a total supernatural awakening? I'll call it Recherché, because that's what it is, dammit. READ TAGS BEFORE READING!!
