I'M BAAAAAAACK! Yes! I know! Surprise! So, enough of that. I know you all want me to cut the crap and get to the good stuff. Am I right? Well you will have to bare with me for a few minutes more. Now I know that many (if not most) of you have been waiting for a really long time for this. First, I want to apologize for the long wait. Second, I want to thank you all for your faith in me. It has helped renew my fire and this story. Now, I know many of you liked the old version, but I promise you that the new version will be just as good, if not better. As I promised I tried to keep as much of the old content as I could, but sometimes that just wasn't possible. I have added a few new layers to the fic, adding to the stories complexity and mystery. I tried really hard not to go for the cliché 'fan ends up in Transformers world' fic that I am sure you are all tired of reading. I hope that this is a new take on an old classic storyline.
Now for the updates. I have spent long hours debated the subject on how long I should go between updates. I have decided that I will update every three days until I get to chapter 9, as this is where the old fic stops. I will then update once a week. I am planning of the once a week updates to be on Friday. The weekly updates will start after Friday, April 24th, or if you want to get technical, on Friday, April 24th. It's just a coincident that this is only three days after chapter 9 is to be posted. So here is the tentative update schedule:
Prolouge – 3/25/2015
Ch. 1 – 3/28/2015
Ch. 2 – 3/31/2015
Ch. 3 – 4/3/2015
Ch. 4 – 4/6/2015
Ch. 5 – 4/9/2015
Ch. 6 – 4/12/2015
Ch. 7 – 4/15/2015
Ch. 8 – 4/18/2015
Ch. 9 – 4/21/2015
Ch. 10 – 4/24/2015
Alright, so enough of my babbling. I'm getting to be worse then Bluestreak!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Transformers in anyway shape or form. It belongs to it's respective owners. I am also not making any money off of this.
Now that the disclaimer is out of the way. Enjoy the first of Into the Painted Sky's rewrite! JG out!

The room was bathed in a silver glow as the lone figure sat, back against the wall. Small blue orbs danced through the air. It wasn't often that I came here. Normally, I found myself in the other extreme. It was a nice change of pace. The sparks drifted close to me, recognizing who I was. I smiled and began to talk to them. It was my normal speech, but it entertained them anyway.
"Life is fragile. It's delicate and easy to break. But even so, it is craved by many. It is something to be cherished and treasured, but to often do we break it. We tear it down and abuse it. Until the frail gift is left in pieces. Some who have life do not live and some lose it before they have the chance to. Some still get a second chance. Though it is rare." My voice was soft as I spoke to the small sparks that floated through the air. "Most who get this second chance do not even know they have it. Not until death once more reclaims them. Not until they return here to my world." I paused and watched the sparks around me.
My child. I looked up. I have a task for you. I stood up. If Primus was speaking, it had to be for a reason. He didn't do it often, so it was wise to listen when he did. Come. A doorway open up before me. I wasn't sure what was awaiting me on the other side, but it was better then just sitting around waiting for another scuffle in the Pit to quell.
