The swords helped Bilbo, Gandalf, and the Dwarves later on in the adventure. For example, Bilbo and the Dwarves got abducted by giant spiders.

    Heroic journeys can happen in many different ways. Everyone has a journey in their life, not all are the same, as we can see in Moana and The hobbit. As we compare the heroic journeys of Moana and The Hobbit we can see The Hobbit creates a stronger heroic journey through analyzing the departure, initiation, and return.
