He leaves the safe realm and ventures into an unknown and risky world where he doesn’t know the rules and limits. Also, the heroes start to encounter the constant threat of death. The heroes quickly learn the new rules, endurance and strength. The inherent personifications of the hero aid him and guide his journey until he arrives to the ‘threshold guardian’ at the entrance of the darkness zone. Campbell said “With the personifications of his destiny to guide and aid him, the hero goes forward in his adventure until he comes to the ‘threshold guardian’ at the entrance to the zone of magnified power” (Campbell 64).

Bilbo is also included in the company because the Dwarves are loyal to Gandalf, and trust Gandalf. Bilbo shows loyalty towards the Dwarves throughout the novel by putting himself in dangerous situations to help or save the Dwarves, such as saving them from the spiders in Mirkwood, or freeing them from the Elvish prison. Bilbo's display of loyalty and heroism causes the Dwarves to show a sense of greater devotion as the story progresses.
