Riddles in the Dark - Ep 12: Is That You?

The people gathered in the square to see the unveiling of the statue of the great warrior Mikaz. Twenty years ago the gladiator rallied the land after a great defeat, and in the ensuing years his legend had only grown. King Ponford had commisioned the statue from the greatest artist in the land, Shaline. As the kings speech ended the sheet was removed from the statue. It was beautiful. Made of marble, Mikaz's great club seemed to wood, his cloak seemed to ripple in the breeze and even his skin seemed to be alive. The people in the square wept, even the King. "Bring me Shaline! Whatever we payed her, it was not enough!" But she could not be found and was never seen again. Why was the statue so beautiful?
