		At a council in September, 1439 in Florence, John "reminded the Pope that he had promised to send at least two warships for the defense of Constantinople by the end of spring, because there were ominous signs that the Sultan was preparing a great offensive." Nothing came of his request.
		Hunyadi escaped, only to be caught by his former ally George Brankovich, now a faithful vassal of the Sultan, who held him until he agreed to pay for damage caused by his army in Serbia.

		The adept, sensing that evil magicks were afoot and that there was more to be found here than just the babbling of peasants, began accompanying the soldiers of John Hunyadi, succoring their wounds and aiding them as best he could.
		The adept accompanied Hunyadi's troops in their guerrilla war against the Angular Man's army, slowly nibbling away at them and always avoiding pitched battle, for Hunyadi knew that such a thing would be his destruction.
		The spell that the adept had only sensed erupted then, allowing Hunyadi's horses to gallop across the waters of Balaton as if it were flat, dry earth, and igniting the blades of their swords and pikes, and somehow shielding them from the worst of the Angular Man's death-spells.
