This funny story aims to teach the lesson "Things aren't always what they seem".
The basic bones of the story (as performed by Dorian):
A down on his luck artist gets the idea to try and paint a portrait for the king. But when asked who he wants a portrait of, the king asks that the artist paint the High Goddess! Not one to let an impossible task get him down, the artist puts out a call for models, but not one remotely resembles Meikon.
One night, a beautiful cleric asks if she can serve as his model. The artist agrees, but the cleric challenges him with three seemingly impossible tasks before she will pose (what these are and the spellsongs that solve them differ from minstrel to minstrel)
After completing all three tasks, the cleric reveals herself as Meikon in disguise, saying she wanted to test his faithfulness and resolve, and seeing as he passed all three of her tests with flying colors, she poses for his portrait.
The king is stunned by the portrait and throws a huge banquet in the artist's honor. He eventually goes on to be world famous, but he never forgets what he went through to paint the High Goddess
