Yay! Someone posted! 
I just thought I'd add here in case it's unclear, but the rider that passed Rena on the road is a Wyrm Hunter heading south. The greeting he gave her - "Hail, Novicia" - was that of Wyrm Hunter to an apprentice Wyrm Hunter, and the answer she gave him - “Hail, Cazador” - was simply the title of a Wyrm Hunter.
"But Rena isn't a Wyrm Hunter!" you protest in confusion. Indeed, she is not. But the rider saw the soul-taint on her, just as she saw it on him. He called her "apprentice" and if she'd answered in any other fashion he would have stopped and taken her with him as a novitiate since she was so tainted, but her answer assured him she was already apprenticed to the Hunters and thus was equipped to handle the taint.
"But she's not, and she isn't!" you exclaim in more confusion. You're right. So how does she know what to say? Since she doesn't remember, you're all just going to have to find out the hard way.
Why am I spelling this out? So no one gets more confused than they have to be! >insert maniacal laughter here: Mwahahahaha!<
