Twilight pointedly looked at a small bandage on her withers. “As i’ve noticed.”

*I've

Celestia nodded and said, “Well I’ve got a question for both of you. Have you ever heard of dragons using magic? Similar to the abilities of an unicorn?”

Twilight sat up in her so-called ‘lecture mode’, Celestia’s wing folding back to her side. “As far as the books i’ve read that talk about dragon physiology or psychology, there has been no pony written recording of dragons being able to harness magic the same way unicorns can.” She shuffled her hooves, excited. “Of course, that doesn’t mean they don’t have any innate abilities. Mature dragon scales are very good at deflecting magic of most forms and their fire is one of the hottest any creature can conjure up. Not even mentioning their ultra sharp teeth and claws. Their lifespan is also centuries long at the minimum.”

*I've

The princess continued her short lecture. “Normally the aura of somepony’s magic could simply be seen as let’s say ‘the effective range’ of the current spell used. Be it levitation or something else. Now in this regard Spike’s fire is actually similar. The fire he puts out with his own special organs are partially infused with magic the same way an unicorns’ horn is.”

*a unicorn's

Celestia frowned at the two, “I’m afraid i’ll have to disappoint you, Spike. The last one has been centuries ago, lost to time and only written about in old mare tales. Furthermore the old pony practice of finding orphaned eggs has already been stopped for a long time. You were the last one we still had in magical stasis, Spike.”

*I'll

Celestia put down his claws with a wisp of her magic, pulling him inside her embrace again. She looked at both of them and said, “I think for the basics of how magic actually works Twilight will be happy to teach you. It will be a good refresher for herself too.” At this the unicorns’ eyes sparkled at the prospect of teaching her dragon. “And in a week or few, when you know enough. You will come here,” She nodded at her student. “with Twilight. And I will teach you two all I know about harnessing your unique magical fire. The rest you can figure out on your own, Spike.”

Aside from the errors, this was a good story. Very nice.
