Why these tropes fit

In this grim sequel, Maevyth and Zevander must journey together through the dangerous mortal lands to deliver Zevander from an ancient malevolent power threatening to shatter both worlds. A sinister curse and flesh-eating monsters have darkened the mortal realm, and humanity in Foxglove Parish has faded. Their only escape is through The Eating Woods and back to the mystical realm of Aethyria, but fate has tangled their destinies. As Maevyth's past is unearthed, Zevander is slowly succumbing to madness, deprived of an essential substance called vivicantem. With time running out and an evil force closing in on Zevander's mind, Maevyth must find the power to save him before they're trapped in Mortasia forever.
