Rich Kids

In the opulent dining hall of the Snow Institute, adorned with crystal chandeliers and golden tapestries, a grand private dinner was underway. Seraphina Frostclaw, daughter of a prominent Winterborne elder, had orchestrated the event under her father's orders to establish a secret club within the institute. Seated around the polished mahogany table were a select group of friends and acquaintances, all children of rich and influential Winterborne families.

As the sumptuous feast unfolded, the conversation flowed freely among the guests, punctuated by laughter and the clinking of silverware. Seraphina, radiant in a gown of shimmering silver, presided over the gathering with an air of authority.

Areon Winterfell, his features set in a thoughtful frown, spoke up as he sampled a delicate appetizer. "I must say, Seraphina, your father's idea to establish this secret club is quite ambitious," he remarked, his tone tinged with skepticism. "Do you truly believe it will make a difference in the grand scheme of things?"

Seraphina met his gaze with a confident smile. "I believe it is necessary, Areon," she replied, her voice firm. "In times of uncertainty, we must take proactive measures to protect ourselves and our way of life."

Dorian Iceheart, ever the pragmatist, interjected with a smirk. "Well, I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry," he quipped, raising his glass in agreement. "After all, we can't rely on the Winterborne guards to keep us safe. They're more concerned with lining their own pockets than protecting the citadel."

The group chuckled at his words, nodding in agreement. "Indeed," Seraphina chimed in. "And have you heard about the latest escapades of the guards? They couldn't catch a cold in a blizzard, let alone a rebel infiltrator."

Lyra Snowcrest, known for her quick wit, decided to lighten the mood with a playful jab. "And let's not forget about the poor souls living in the underground," she remarked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I hear their accommodations are positively luxurious this time of year. Who knew living like rats could be so fashionable?"

The group erupted into laughter at her jest, the sound echoing off the walls of the grand dining hall. But even as they joked and bantered, the underlying tension remained, a silent reminder of the challenges they faced.

As the evening wore on, the conversation turned to more serious matters. Areon voiced his concerns about the growing divide between the old guard and the new blood factions within the Winterborne elite, while Seraphina outlined her plans for the secret club and how it would operate.

Despite their differences, the group found common ground in their shared desire to protect the Winterborne elite and maintain their way of life. And as they toasted to their newfound alliance, they knew that they were embarking on a journey fraught with danger and uncertainty.

But together, they were determined to face whatever challenges lay ahead, united in their mission to safeguard their future and the future of the Snow Institute. And as they bid each other farewell and dispersed into the night, they knew that they were stronger together than they ever could be apart.
