" there are no legacies in this life, are there? "
There are those that would say differently, that would argue that point. That would say legacy is everything in this life, since it's a rather oblique form of immortality. There are those who believe reputation alone is enough to secure that idea of legacy, that to leave a mark on the world is the goal worth striving for.He's never actually been one of those. For all the fantastical that he's seen and been and done in his life, Hector Barbossa is, in the most important of ways a man can be, a very practical individual. So much so it oftimes translates as a coldness and indifference, because he has set in his own mind what matters, and what does not, and he lives by those guidelines as necessary."Legacy be as bought and paid for as everything else, I reckon. It just depends on what you're willing to pay with." And those that seem to obtain it do so with other mens' lives. What's another war, another rebellion, another battle with a body count, for history to smile favorably on a man, after all. His own kind are few enough that legacy is nothing but a dream. What can they profess claims to beyond nooses and sea water stained red, in the end. "You don't come into this world wanting it, elseways. That be something fed from a spoon the likes of me will never see."
