One last cryptic line
to an ancient chant
to summon the divine
for a wish to grant.

The forest it shifted
the darkness it bent
two yellow eyes drifted
a great feline was sent.

Lucinda the Seer
her beauty divine
her soul piercing gaze
her blue bindi shine.

"The call, it was heeded.
The message received.
What truth here is needed?"

she purred while she breathed.

Her great furry mass
it twitched and it quivered
I stifled my sass
and then I delivered:

"This crossword is evil!
It has me perplexed!
Please help me with 10 down:
'A hip muscle flexed'"

She stared for a moment
her eyes became slits
A maniacal torrent
of rages and fits.

Her blue gem grew larger
and burst with a spray
I leaped behind shelter
and desperately prayed.

The commotion was settled
her eyes appeared first
she sat on a pile
of trees that had burst.

"A hip flexing muscle,
oh yes, of course.
'Psoas' is the answer."

her voice slightly hoarse.

Her gift given she turned
and escaped into night
I wrote in the answer
OMG, she was right!

The scene in this illustration evokes a spiritual summoning of epic proportions, with a sort of god-like cat making an appearance.  I tried to imagine what might happen if someone evoked an ancient ritual to summon divine knowledge in order to solve a trivial crossword puzzle question.  I would think that the deity would be a bit frustrated... but still answer the question.  Maybe not though :)
