And, finally, the only reason you're still reading.

Paige is the second to be sent to kill two bioweapons named Robbe and Tammy, as well as their living catalyst, a large beast named Gus, and retrieve the first assassin, Paul, dead or alive.
Of these individuals deemed "too dangerous to let live", Paige has unwillingly given up all hope of leading a normal life to eradicate the world of others like her, if only to settle the supposed "rising tensions" between races she's had little contact with.
All she knows is that she weighs as much as a truck, and hits like one, too, making a job like this one of the easier things to take on. But after arriving to her destination, she's unsure if she wants to.

So...yeah. It's a furry story that I'm working on, simply put.
And, just to be clear, it's not just on a whim; this is the most passion I've had for a project since I first worked on Mistaken, arguably even since I worked on Cynosure all those years ago.
I've hinted at this before, but I decided that this time, I'm serious, and I want to put full effort into this, because all my life I've had so many ideas that I never acted on, and I've hated myself for it.
I realize that the running gag is pony musicians going to furry stuff, but here's the thing -- I was always drawing anthros and making stories involving anthros, and this, if anything, is what I should've done a long time ago.
A number of months ago, I uploaded a song titled "In the Know", which was actually when I first got the idea of three characters unfortunately and inadvertently finding themselves in the middle of a grand controversy concerning abilities they never knew they had or wanted to use. All of them have a trace of a strange energy, and for Robbe, the character that song was for, she continuously generates this energy until her body reaches its limit and it releases regardless of any effort to contain it, so she's basically a walking bomb.
Her sister, Tammy, thrives off of this energy and it essentially fuels her body, mostly in the way of mental processes and the like, but without it, she becomes weak. She doesn't even know she has this flaw, but she generally stays close to her sister because "it makes her feel better".
And lastly, Gus, the beast roughly twice their size, is one of a few others of his race that can amplify this energy passively, but he's 9, and doesn't really understand what's going on.

This whole project has been in the works for several months, and it's over halfway done, but I understand if you guys don't care about it, and that's fine. All I want to do is make music that tells a story I made, and if you wanna leave, that's cool.
I've got some pony stuff in line later, but when I said I was gonna go in different directions, I meant it.
Maybe I'm overreacting, but I just wanted to let you guys know that this is something that I've been unsure of ever since I started, so I thought it'd only be fitting to officially start it with Weight of the World.
Also I really like Paige, even though she's technically a later addition.
I've never really done a song for an original character, so it's really cool to finally be in a position where I can do that.

I've got some other stuff that I'm not gonna post to youtube just yet, but if you wanna hear something else for the album I was working on, I've got something for particularly earlier on in the album:

This is for when Paul, the first assassin, first arrives where the characters are believed to be.

I know all this is weird, but trust me, guys, this is some of the best work I've done in a long time, and I've got a lot of ideas for where I want to take this.
If you didn't already figure it out, Loose and That Spark were part of this, I just didn't have the artwork for it, and I even told you guys what was going on in the comments section of That Spark.
Not that it makes me feel better, since even though I did alter that song to better fit Rainbow Dash after realizing that the only art I had was sketches, I don't like telling partial truths.
I dunno. This is all weird for me, too, but I have to have confidence in this.
I wish you all the best, and I hope you'll stick with me.

If you're curious, this was the original sketch of the character:

The commissioned picture ended up portraying her kinda differently, but I don't mind too much. I guess I never did stop liking anthro.
