Gaulax

"'The Ambar Queen, the Red mount of the Red Priestress... it has many names but it certainly is known as one of the most wonderful dragons of this time and age, a dignified heir to Aegon and his three dragons. A gift of R'hllor to the world of men. The almighty Gaulax, ridden by your granmother Naera, is fire made flesh; and here in the north, in the land of winter, that means it all.' - Maester Alistor to Brandon Greycliff."Gaulax is a Female Dragon, bonded currently to her third rider, Naera Targaryen of Whitefyre. It is red in color and known to be massive in size, so much so, it is said to rival many of the Dragons currently alive in Westeros. Definitely big and majestic, it is often compared to Vhagar or Meraxes in size. It's red color and the fact that it's current rider is a Red Priestress has attracted special symbolism, to the point where many have believed that Naera is the Prince that was promise and Gaulax is it's sword.

This Dragon has benefited from having Naera as it's rider extending her lifespam and her aging quite considerably. Naera is the third rider of Gaulax. It had previously belonged to Alaera Targaryen of Whitefyre, and before that to Daenaera Targaryen of Whitefyre. Currently, it is around 155 years old.

Biography
Gaulax was born out of a clutch of eggs presented to Daeron I Targaryen of Whitefyre to her youngest daughter, Daenaera. The egg was put on her craddle and Gaulax hatched soon after, bonding with the rider. It was then that she grew slowly but steadly to become a wonderful beast. It didnt take long for Gaulax to mature and got her first flight at 6 years old. After she reached 15 years of age, she was able to hunt on her own.

She had taken a liking of the Step stones and took her time to fly there for hunting. She often took Daenaera there to safety specially when was declared. Daenaera took her son with her on top of Gaulax to safety when the uprising against Maelor I failed. However, when Maelor died, and Vaegon was restaured to power (brought back to the Island on top of Gaulax), she had to face again war when Jaehaerys Targaryen of Whitefyre "the Cruel", looked for a war to take the throne as the son of Maelor I.

Daenaera sadly died, and Gaulax bonded with Alaera, which was at open war with her husband. On top of Gaulax, she took Viela to safety in Lys and came back to fight against him on the side of Vaegon I. When Jaehaerys was finally defeated, Gaulax was brought back to the islands, living in between them and Lys for quite some time. It was then that Alaera and her grandaughter Naera ride together on top of Gaulax, which will later help Naera bond with Gaulax.

When Alaera died and Gaulax was bonded to Naera, they both travelled together far and wide. First to the Free cities and later far away to Asshai, where not much of what happened is actually recorded. She finally decided to head to the north where Naera met Cregan Stark and had her third son, Rhogar Snow. Ever since, she has lived there with Gaulax and has planned on giving eggs from Gaulax to her granchildren.

Daenaera Targaryen of Whitefyre
Gaulax was placed in Daenaera's craddle by her mother and soon later, it hatched. Gaulax then grew in size during much of this time and became strong and wealthy as a female. At age 15, she led Daenaera ride her. She participated with her in the War of Succession on the Three Islands, becoming one of the most important conflicts she was involved in. Miracously, she came out of it alive with a small scar on her belly that healed quickly. When Daenaera passed, Gaulax was around 65 years old (65 years bonded to Daenaera) and its said to have mourned deeply the loss of her rider. It wasnt until 4 years later that Gaulax was claimed by Alaera.

Alaera Targaryen of Whitefyre
Alaera was the second rider of Gaulax and even though the bond wasnt as strong as with Daenaera, it quickly became a good friendship that brought happiness to both. Alaera used Gaulax again fighting over her unwanted husband, Jaehaerys Targaryen of Whitefyre "the Cruel". She saw confortance in flying with Gaulax and often visited Lys and the Zyrans. Her grand-daugther, Naera, was carried as a baby over her granmother's dragon. There was a very special connection between Naera and Alaera and if it was just imposible for dragons to bond with two people alive at the same time, it could be said he was bonded to Naera. This was just an idea of what will happened in the future. When Alaera passed away, Gaulax bonded with Naera. Gualax was 90 years old at the time of her death (26 years with Alaera as her rider).

Naera Targaryen of Whitefyre
Gaulax' third rider, its the one that has lasted the longest. They still form a strong bond but many believed that Gaulax probably will die in Naera's livetime. Still, they have been together for at least 65 years, which is more than Alaera and Daenaera. Gaulax had already shown signs of affinity with Naera when Alaera took her grandaughter with her. This was why Naera, on her early years refused to take any dragon and just waited to claim Gaulax for herself, although other members of her family had also desires to claim her too, they eventually gave up.
