It was the seventh day, of the tenth month.. the streets of Cove were quiet, dead. There wasn't a sound, none but the gentle breeze from the sea, Cove was empty.. ish. What horrific tale had unfolded to this little.. Cove?
THE ULTIMATE HAT FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP!!. By this I mean everybody was in the Goblin partaking in the event of the century! Well, week. Actually probably just the day considering.. Anyway!
The people of Cove stumbled into the Goblin in their hundreds! Well, about ten.. After going through the traumatic auditioning round to make sure no rubbish hats were entered, six hats made it into the final free for all battle to the death! The finalists were: Maibaum's Hat, Van's Hat, Elaine of Vespers Hat, Kiran's Hat, Spud Goodsoup's Bananaskin Hat, and Star Summers' Covian Brown Hat Of A Thousand Uses.
The hats fought one another like there was no tomorrow! But little did they know, tomorrow was just a few hours away from them, yet they still fought like.. fighting hats of.. fightingness!
The fight ended in a dead heat, no winner, no losers! It went to a public vote. There were many aspects of these wonderous hats that had to be taken into consideration when voting for the most awesome hat in all of Cove, NO, Sosaria..
Van's Hat: All round awesome.
Elaine of Vesper's Hat: A dead animal.
Kiran's Hat: Stolen from the Goblin!
Spud Goodsoup's Bananaskin Hat: It's a bananaskin...
Star Summers' Covian Brown Hat Of A Thousand Uses: It has a thousand uses.
Maibaum's Hat: Gave us a poem;
The Admirals Hat
Second to none on the sea
Girl magnet on land
This hat
THIS HAT
Is a fleet unto itself
It could defeat any foe
And shall someday
Destroy us all
Such is its power
Perhaps the stranger shall appear once more
To attempt to destroy it
Lest it fall into the wrong hands.
Alas, the voting was brutal, some voters couldn't handle the pressure and cracked, taking their own lives before our very eyes. Penny Freckletip was so confused, she started to beleive even she was a participant, an actual hat! Supposed noble or such, Amon Jarl, was so disgusted by it, that he fell into a coma for a meer few moments and was unable to vote! But eventually the votes were cast, and we had a winner... .... .... .... Spud Goodsoups Bananaskin Hat!
These Championships summed up Cove's love for their headgear, voting a used bananaskin as a hat as their winner. He was given a small cash prize and everyone was made to wear replicas of the bananaskin hat..
Overall Hat God, and host of the Championships, Deacon van Cocidius III.
