Challenge: Blood and Gold

Elizabeth felt strangely disillusioned as her world of romanticized piracy and obscure intentions was torn away with those four simple words.
"No truth at all."
She managed to conceal her disappointment and focused instead on her decidedly precarious state of survival and her worry for Will. Now, though, her senses were dulled by the rum she had consumed and she found herself turning to Jack with a pout on her lips.
"Jaaack. If there's no truth to the stories… if it isn't about love or freedom… what is it about?"
Jack turned to face her, hands strangely still, eyes deadly serious and she could have sworn she detected a note of sorrow in his voice.
"What's it about, Miss Swann? Why, blood and gold, of course. Blood and Gold."
