Chapter 1: The Beginning of the New Age
The year was 2080, and the world had embraced the impossible. Dinosaurs, once extinct, now roamed the earth once more—this time under the watchful eyes of mankind. India had become the epicenter of this miraculous return, home to the Indian Research Park: a vast, AI-powered sanctuary where the reborn creatures thrived. Among the pioneers of this new age were three brilliant minds—Dr. Abhijit, the chief scientist and visionary behind the dinosaur resurrection program; Dr. Krish, the tech mastermind responsible for the security systems and AI control; and Dr. Kairabha, the youngest of the trio, who had a mysterious bond with the dinosaurs.
It was a bright morning when the trio stood watching a herd of peaceful herbivores grazing near the edge of the sanctuary's electric walls. Children visited with their parents, marveling at the creatures of a bygone age. All seemed perfect.
Krish sat in the control room, eyes glued to the AI interface. Suddenly, a flicker appeared on the screen—an unrecognized presence moving deep within the forest. He waved Abhijit over, frowning.
"Is that Kairabha out there?" he asked.
Abhijit looked closer. "No, he's right there with that dino baby. That's... something else."
Curious and cautious, the two jumped into an AI-powered patrol vehicle and made their way into the forest. They found Kairabha sitting calmly with a dinosaur hatchling, smiling and completely unaware of the anomaly.
"You scared us, Kairabha!" Abhijit called.
They scanned the area. Nothing. Maybe a system glitch? They returned to base, brushing it off as a false alarm. That night, as the world slept, something stirred in the darkness. A distant cry echoed through the forest.
Kairabha, unable to sleep, decided to investigate. He slipped into the AI vehicle and headed into the jungle alone.

**Chapter 2: The Vanishing**
The next morning, Abhijit and Krish woke to an unsettling silence. Kairabha's bed was empty.
"He's gone," Krish said, anxiety creeping into his voice.
They tracked his AI vehicle's path straight into the deeper forest. Fear tightening their chests, they followed.
Meanwhile, Kairabha walked among the trees, his steps slow and measured. He noticed a T-Rex nearby—not aggressive, but... alert. Its eyes darted around, and it growled into the thick vegetation.
Kairabha froze.
It wasn't growling at him.
Something else was out there.
Suddenly, the electric signals across the sanctuary began to weaken. Cameras flickered, sensors failed. Krish, back at the station, tried frantically to reboot the system.
Abhijit gritted his teeth. "Why did you install such weak AI shielding?!"
"It was never meant for something like this!" Krish yelled back.
The sanctuary was failing. And the danger was growing.

**Chapter 3: A Silent Witness**
Inside the jungle, Kairabha crouched into a bush. The T-Rex roared again, louder. It charged—not at Kairabha, but into the trees. Moments later, there was a horrifying sound. Screeching. Thrashing. Silence.
Then—drip.
Blood splashed onto Kairabha's face.
The T-Rex was dead.
He covered his mouth, shaking.
When Abhijit and Krish arrived at the site hours later, the jungle was quiet. All that remained of the T-Rex were shattered bones and blood-soaked soil. Abhijit knelt beside them, retrieving a fragment.
"This… this wasn't a normal predator. The wounds are too deep. The bones—bitten clean."
Krish's face turned pale.
Kairabha, silent, watched from a distance. His mind raced.
What did this?

**Chapter 4: Cracks in the Sanctuary**
Back at the lab, Krish began upgrading the AI system with urgency. Surveillance drones were launched, and electric fences were reinforced. But something felt off.
Abhijit examined the broken bones in his lab, searching for answers. He was about to call it a night when his eyes caught a torn piece of paper stuck under a drawer. In faded ink, it read:
*"Life always finds its own way. It can't be created nor destroyed. It doesn't rely on anybody."*
Chills ran down his spine. This wasn't just science anymore—it was something else. Something alive. Something ancient.

**Chapter 5: Signals of the Past**
Krish's upgraded systems finally began to show clearer signals. But something strange appeared—data logs from a previous AI experiment. An old, unauthorized activation of a prototype creature.
Abhijit examined the logs.
"These aren't ours," he muttered.
The data revealed a fourth user. Codenamed: A.
Someone had brought this beast into existence without the team's knowledge.
Krish's jaw clenched. "We were never alone in this."
A shadow loomed over the sanctuary's history.
A shadow named A.
