Act 2: scene 3

As the dawn chased away the darkness of night, a man of the church made about his garden for early morning prayer. His eyes wondered over the various plants that grew within the garden, some healing herbs, while others bearers of death. It is here in this garden that Nightwing finds Friar Cyborg.

"Good morrow, I say to you," Nightwing greeted.

"My, what voice doth bid me within morning dew? Nightwing, are you not right in the head, that you would so early bid good day to your bed?" Friar Cyborg returned in greeting. "Boy, look at you, up at dawns early light, hath you seen your bed tonight?"

"Nah, good father, I have not yet been."

"What? Boy, tell me you do not sin!"

"My ghostly father, no. You haven't reason for woe."

Friar Cyborg sighed in relief, "Good man, but where were you then?"

"I'll tell you before you ask again. Last night I did party with my enemy, until a spell came over me. Now we seek your aid, by a part only by your holiness be played."

"Don't speak in wit and cun, be to the point, my son."

"Very well, father, for you're a good man, I have come to love the younger daughter of Tamaran. Last night, we wooed and exchanged love's vow. My ghostly father, the point is now. With every bit we pray, that you marry us today."

Friar Cyborg stood stunned during Nightwing's explanation. "You mean to say you have found a new maiden, when tears still upon thy cheek is laden? Young men these days know not what within love lies, clearly they seek with not heart but… eyes."

"Then you will not let us wed?" Nightwing pressed.

"You're reasoning's feel mislead," Friar Cyborg responded.

"Please, good father, the woman I do love now, doth grace for grace and love for love allow."

"You have much to learn, but come with me. In this time, thy assist I'll be. For in an alliance with she as your wife, may see to an end of your families' strife." Friar Cyborg lead the way back to the church.

"Thank you, good father, let us use speed."

"Nah, boy, patients is what you need."
