I like this start. The characters are revealed my the showing of their relationship. They are both good though perhaps only reluctantly so. They are trapped in the battle between salvation and damnation and it sounds as though neither of them qualifies fully for either state. I like the hunter character it is clear how weary she is of the war. It is also clear that she suffered a painful loss in her most recent battle. Basically her life sucks and she has little control over it. She is forced to be an unconnected wanderer and she wishes it would end even if it meant her end.
