The village on the clouds

The village on the clouds
(for July's challenge)

They call it the village on the clouds, but its real name is Kingsbath.
Legend has it that a forgotten God-King, giant among mere men, stopped there one night after long travelling and demanded a hot, steaming bath.

The people of the small town, humbled and fearful, started boiling water with perfumed flowers, because they knew that enraging a God would have brought only disgrace to them. What they didn't know is that the God-King, not believing they were up to the task, had cast a sorcery on the whole town so that one bucket of steaming hot water would be multiplied thousandfold.

And so it was, that the sorcery multiplied the already abundant steam so much that a permanent hot cloud encircles the city from that day.

"And I know the story sounds made up, travelers, but believe old Sadekh, somewhere in that town there is still a shard of the God-King's power, I'm sure!"
