Arthas walked back into his office and waited. He was rather deep in thought right now on what to say. Seconds passed until Rayleigh opened the door, A breeze of air followed him before Sakura materialized inside the room. Her wind form could let her do that, in fact she was rather fond of doing that lately to train her powers. "What's up Papa" she said then gave a nod to Rayleigh.
"Hello Sakura, Hello Rayleigh, Sorry from pulling you away from your family" he said with a smile. Arthas stood up from his chair and turned away from them, holding his hands behind him, one organic, one artificial, a mechanical arm made by Nix Gallen. "What I want to say is a bit tricky for me, so I will just say it bluntly. I am stepping down as Guild Master, and I want one of you two to take my place" There, he had said it. He could almost hear Sakura's mouth drop. Of course he could see it, her opening and clothing her mouth trying to come up with something to say. Part of his new arm was a archive camera in the palm so he could see what his hand was facing "What... I mean... Why.... What are you saying Dad?"
Arthas shook his head a bit and continued to speak. "I have held this position for almost 20 years now, and there are a few things I have learned. Many think the strength and ability of the guild master is what is most importanty. That is not the case. The kindness and wisdom of the guild master is what is most important. You must know your guild mates, be close to them, be able to be trusted by them, and trust them in return. Despite this though ability is still important. The guild master should be one of the last lines of defense for the guild. If several members of the guild are hurt, it is your duty to protect them and protect the guild." He then looked at his new arm. It did give him several nice abilities, but over all he was several times weaker than before. He doubted he could even be considered S-Class at this point. "I have lost that ability. I have held on to this position for two years since I lost most of my magic, and I can clearly see that if the guild were attacked today, I wouldn't be able to protect it."
He turned around and faced them. He looked to Ray and said. "Ray, whenever we were in trouble, be it against the demons or the guild Acnologia, you were always there to tip the balance and always came through in the end when it counted most. Most people in the guild like you, and those that don't still respect you." he said then looked to Sakura. She was in disbelief that he was still saying all this. It looked like she wanted to cry as well. "Sakura, I have watched you grow since you were a child, despite some of the worst circumstances you always pushed forward. You have fallen tine and time again, but no matter what you have always stood back up and kept pushing forward. That is what it means to be Fairy Tail. Everyone in the guild knows you and respects your spirit." he said to her with a smile before looking back towards both of them. "Both of you would make prime guild masters. Please, both of you think on this... I Don't want to rush you into anything, and one on you have a family to consider and consult." and with that he was finished.
