Princess Celestia has been worried about the decline of alicorns for some times now; with the help of her sister, she begins a reconstruction project started in a scientific bunker, deep beneath the surface of Equeastria. It's goal, to genetically modify and create new alicorns from already existing DNA or straight from scratch. The program, named the Alicorn Cellular Reproduction Project, suffered many failures early on, but after several attempts, the attempts of the scientists there came to fruition. A successful hybrid of Princess Luna's and Princess Celestia's DNA created the first of a new alicorn breed, Shadowlight. After the first success, the scientists were pressured into creating another. Running out of ideas, the took from the above town of Ponyville one of its residences, Ghost, to become transferred into the project. After her, they didn't stop. Celestia ventured farther than Equestria and pulled a human from his world, successfully altering him. She was still not satisfied, and gave the scientists the order to make an alicorn from scratch. Through many modifications to his genetic structure, Flare was created. He's unstable, powerful, and is forced to remain in the underground 'prison'.
