This is a continuation of StarRise: The Musical. 
Althea is the crazed holder woman who offed Ygrette and Omanyth during the Queen Massacre in turn 19. She had been the daughter of a remote cotholder, trapped in a life of fairly horrific abuse, when a Search dragon found her and Searched her to Stand for a gold egg. Her father paid the rider off, and she was left there for turns more, until she finally snapped, killed her father, and started her vendetta against the ones who failed to rescue her.
Send In the Queens
(Althea’s Song) by Hope E. Ring
(To the tune of "Send in the Clowns")
It’s about time…
After twelve turns…
Watching my plans coalesce,
How my heart yearns!
Send in the queens…
Murderer, whore--
I've done it all.
Given my life and my dreams
To watch them fall...
Send in the Queens--
I want the Queens!
Browns are okay…
Bronzes and greens…
Even a blue has his own kind of grandeur
In his last keen…
But the one sound that can fill my heart with delight
Is the terrified scream
Of a Gold's final flight!
I shape my tools
As I was shaped
Ravish their lives and their dreams
Until they break!
All for my Queens--
My beautiful Queens!
I take what I've learned
To make my Art whole--
They used my body,
But I'll rape their souls.
I'll take their Queens,
Their beautiful Queens--
I'll send them Between!
Poison is fine,
Arrows and Thread…
Hundreds of sensible methods
To make dragons dead…
But I like hot pokers and acid
And daggers, and such…
And lots of time
For that personal touch!
Fifteen, sixteen…
Eighteen, a score…
Oh, I just can’t get enough!
Please, give me more!
Even a hundred would not quench the fire inside….
Each queen that’s hatched
By my hand must die!
How my Art's grown!
I am so proud--
Watch as my paintbrushes paint
Your dragon's shroud!
Give me the Queens!
I want the Queens!
I should have been saved
A queenrider too…
I had no chance to escape;
Neither will you!
Send in the Queens…
My poor, tortured Queens…
I’ll send them…Between!
