(AN: O.k. dudes and dudets, James and Lily's romance going on here set in olden times here. No wand magic, sorry, but a little elemental magic going on. Oh and I'm writing this because no one writes olden times James and Lily stuff with no magic – I've only read one FanFic that fits that criteria so far… ONE! Come on people! So I'd be really grateful if someone else wrote one! HINT, HINT).

James Potter Captain of 'The Marauder' was standing in the stern of his ship (I hope that means the front), looking out at the sea dreaming or the riches that he would soon posses tonight they were going to pull off the mother of all heists, in a matter of hours they were going to steal the Jewel of the ocean, this Jewel was about the size of a large ham and it contained all the colours of the ocean it also contained the power to control the ocean all you had to do was place your hands upon it and think what you wanted to happen.
"Sun shows exactly three hours until we reach land, the tower in which the Jewel resides glows it's brightest at the top floor" Yelled a voice from the crows nest.
"Good work Jessop!" yelled James in the direction of the crows' nest.
"Thank ye capin'" yelled a voice back down
James strode below deck to the 'Planning Room' where most of his crew and his first and second mate were waiting for him.
"Ok men tonight we get the stone," he announced
"James?" asked Sirius clearly asking to speak
"Yes?"
"I don't understand why we are going to all the trouble of stealing the stone and were not even going to keep it" Sirius said
"We would be unstoppable with it! No one would even be able to come after us, we could fend them off with the stone" he continued
"Il give it some thought but I have my own reasons for not wanting to keep it with us which I'm choosing not to divulge to any of you at this moment in time" said James in a that's the end of that conversation and if you bring it up again I will make you walk the plank kind of way.
"Now we plan our siege, so shut it" he spread maps of the palace over the large tables
He pointed to a map of a large tower hundreds of feet high, "Ok this is the tower in which the jewel I kept it has ten floors and the jewel resides in the top most floor it emits a bright blue glow and contains the power to control the sea but you all know that, now what I am worried about is the fact that their will be hundreds of men from the army will be in the palace attending the peace delegation ball…
He was cut off by one of the crew "then why not wait until after the ball"
James took one of his daggers from his belt and threw it at the man; it landed in his hand as he let out a cry of pain.
"You should all know that by now I do not appreciate being interrupted but to answer your question Bloty the fact that they are in the palace means that they will not be in the tower which is were they would usually be" he said looking at the man who was nursing his injured hand
"However there is one problem that is not removed by the ball, the stone is said to have a guardian and said guardian is usually given a slight control over water they cant do anything with the sea per se but they could trap someone in water and they are abnormally strong and they never leave the stone their entire life" he said
"Well how do we get rid of him? Is it human?" asked Remus
"It is human but the guardian has always been and will always be a woman" he replied to Remus
Sirius let out a bark of laughter, "very funny James I highly doubt that a woman could better any of us, were infamous pirates for gods sakes we raid ships and leave no one alive!" he finished rousing a cheer from the crew
"I hope you're right old friend because if she gets the best of us, she will not call upon the palace guard it is her duty and privilege to kill whom ever attempts to take the stone, and there will be no charges pressed what so ever even if it was the king himself"
"Oh crap," said Sirius
"You can say that again," said Remus looking worried
Sirius opened his mouth but James clapped a hand over it "say it later right now we have a plan to work out" he said to Sirius
"Now this is the palace there will be guards positioned in several places here, here and here also…
Everything continued like this for a matter of hours.
They heard Jessop yell "LAND AHOY!" after they had been planning for about two hours and fifty minuets.
"Ok crew gather your weapons and make haste you will be split into groups up on deck now MOVE!" James yelled at his men.
Five minuets later he had his crew in front of him.
"Ok you five" he said pointing at five men, "you will be going ashore to buy food, cloth, bandages and strong liquids but don't get to carried away, if your not back before us you will be left so be back within a half hour, now go". James finished as the five men scuttled off the ship
"Ok you seven" he said pointing at seven men individually you will go to the palace and keep an eye out if anyone looks like they have spotted us doing something wrong or that they were going to make your presence known deal with them accordingly. GO!" he commanded as the seven men ran off the ship.
"Sirius, Remus you two are with me we are going to be getting the stone" he finished
"The rest of you stay aboard the ship be ready to sail at a moments notice" and with that he walked off the ship with his two best friends behind him.
"" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ""
A pair of fiery green eyes blazed in anger, she had been simply using the stone to scry for a moment across the sea and had found this ship, she had been listening intently to a man planning, sadly faces were hardly seen in scrying unless you knew who's face you wanted to see and providing of course they were on water.
"Good plans this man has" she said quietly to herself
"A pity I will have to kill him, but he deserves to try so I will alert no one this is my fight and the stone is my responsibility so I will be the one to kill this captain and his friends… hmmm pity it would have been nice for some real competition before I killed them" she sighed
Then a scowl crossed her face 'had these stupid men not heard of the curse'.
'Ahh well time to prepare' she thought
She clapped her hands once and water flew out of them formed a ball and flew to the ceiling floating there awaiting instruction.
She flicked her fiery red hair over her shoulder and made sure her daggers were secure in her bed.
She heard a bang as the first door on the first floor gave in, she drew her daggers and retreated to the shadows 'this should be interesting…
