500 Vita Kingdom and Aether Castle

Draco walked to the front of the Aether Castle and inspected it with a strange look. It had retained the majority of the Aether Hall's original style and design, yet it had received new towers, a moat, a drawbridge, and a far larger courtyard. 

After they crossed the bridge, Draco noticed that there were some stable-like buildings and an outhouse for servants. Aside from that, the entrance of the castle had become a huge set of double doors that looked like it needed a mechanism to open. 

Of course, such a thing was unnecessary with Vitae in existence. The Aether Apparition opened the doors and came out to greet his Master. He seemed much livelier and more condensed, and one could almost make out human-like features on him. 

"Greetings, Master and Mistress. Allow me to walk you through the changes in the Aether Castle." Vitae offered as he got close. 

"Lead the way." Draco acquiesced with a smile.
