Okay.

The main Character in my story Death's Illusion is about this 16-17 year old girl.

When she was 6 she was hit by a cart, and lost her memory.

She was found by a old couple that took her in as her grandparents and taught her what they knew.

Her adoptive Grandparents happen to be The First Necromancer, and the First Healer/Fleshmage.

They christen the girl Isara when they take her in, and Isara grows to be proficient in both Necromancy and Healing.

When Isara turns 16 (beginning of the story) Deceus (the first Necromancer) accuses her of stealing his Tome of the Dead, his journal, which is very powerful and extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. She overhears the accusations before he confronts her with them, and he also says that he can't trust her because of a powerful illusion shielding her true nature from him.

That night, Isara flees her long known home, it has lost it's welcome after finding out how much her supposed grandparents have lied to her.

Thus, Isara becomes cold hearted and distrustful of all she comes across.

After several weeks of traveling Isara reaches a city, after some thought, goes to a seer to get a few answers.

Let's just say, the seer doesn't help much, giving cryptic answers about the location of the book, the illusion on Isara (Whom the seer can see right though) and as to her real family are.

My hands hurt. I think I'll stop here.

What do you guys think so far?

What do you mean by "first Necromancer" and "First Healer/Fleshmage"? Are they just the most powerful ones, or are they the first that have ever existed? I guess I'm more confused over the different capitalization.

Why would Deceus accuse her of taking his journal? Has she hidden it or other things as pranks or stolen things before? I'm just wondering why he would fly off the handle like that if the book isn't even near the house (or her) when he accuses her.

And I'm guessing that, since she's the main character, Isara is a person of importance. Would there have been something on her clothes that could have given at least a hint as to who she was? And if there was, and her "grandparents" didn't keep it, why not?

Aaaah, sorry! I get a little carried away with my interrogations, don't I?

They are good questions. Questions are a good thing.

Yes, they are the first to ever practice that brand of magic. I'm sorry if I was being inconsistent. Their journals record every piece of recorded knowledge about the magical art, and when they have that much magical knowledge, the journal itself become sentient and is able to focus magic itself.

Well, Isara was wearing normal clothes when she was found, the only slightly out of place things on her was a golden pocket watch with a dragon on it and a golden ring. Her adoptive grandparents didn't notice either of the watch or the ring when they found her.

And she, in turn, never told them about the golden items.

In the land where Isara is from, Illusions are considered deceitful. Not to be trusted. In the same turn, seer's do not lie and are considered truthful. Deceus suspects Isara because of the powerful illusion on her that neither him nor his wife can lift, even when working together.

Illusion has never been practiced strongly by any known mage-- mostly by thieves. It is considered dishonorable and is associated with petty theft.
