Initially, Dr. Sarah yearned to unveil her discovery with the world, but the cold reality dawned upon her that the scientific community might covet her triumph for themselves. Consequently, she embarked on a path of meticulously documenting the creature and safeguarding its secrets.

In the passing years, Dr. Sarah found herself inexorably drawn into the labyrinthine depths of her obsession, locking away her old life as she sought to unravel the enigma that was Lilith, the ancient dinosaur that defied the annals of history. The more she delved, the more her curiosity intertwined with madness, veiling her in a shroud of relentless determination.

Driven by the relentless thirst for knowledge, she cast aside friends, colleagues, and even the bonds of family. They called her a mad scientist, consumed by pseudo science and the impossible quest she had embarked upon.

But what was the origin of this creature? How had it come to exist in a world where it should have been extinct for eons? Dr. Sarah had no answers, only questions that gnawed at her every waking moment. She only had three possible theories. 

Theory one: could Lilith be a living relic of a bygone era, a mysterious remnant transported through time itself? Dr. Sarah plunged into the depths of genetic research, taking blood samples and dissecting the creature's DNA, cross-referencing it with the fossils of prehistoric counterparts. Her theory posited that Lilith might have been thrust into the present through a tear in the fabric of time itself.

Late nights bled into early mornings as she pored over ancient texts, seeking any inkling that could substantiate her belief. Her experiments bordered on the fringes of mad science, as she constructed bizarre contraptions in her laboratory, attempting to replicate the elusive phenomenon of time travel.

Theory two: was Lilith the outcome of advanced genetic engineering from a civilization lost to antiquity? Dr. Sarah embarked on a perilous expedition into the forbidden realms of science, convinced that the key to Lilith's existence lay in unraveling the secrets of her creation.

She became a virtuoso of genetic manipulation, fusing the DNA from multiple creatures in her clandestine underground laboratory. Her experiments birthed grotesque monstrosities that never survived, yet she pressed on, her determination unwavering. In her heart, she believed that engineering a mate for Lilith was the pathway to ensure the continuation of her enigmatic lineage.

Theory three: was she becoming a dinosaur herself? Dr. Sarah isolated herself from the world, documenting every perceived change she believed was transforming her into a creature of the ancient past. She began to dress in a dinosaur suit in hopes that Lilith would share her secrets with her.

Reptilian behaviors became her fixation, as she scrutinized their every nuance—their movements, their communication, and their primal instincts. She believed that by understanding the very essence of what made a dinosaur, she could unlock the enigma that was Lilith.

Then one in a moment of startling clarity, the shroud of madness lifted. Dr. Sarah realized that if she truly wanted to save Lilith, she needed to find her a mate—a creature from our time, genetically edited to be compatible, and equally as unique. And in a twist of fate, a newfound hope blossomed when her eyes spotted a picture of a donkey from one of her biology books.

In that moment she knew what she had to do.
