'''Interlude – The Great Ritual''' is the 12th chapter of [[Volume 1]].

== tl;dr ==
Many [[Earthers]] arrive in [[Innworld]].

== Synopsis ==
The chapter opens with [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] cleaning the inn after the damage caused in the previous chapter. The perspective then shifts to the [[Blighted Kingdom]], where a major spell is being cast. The spell results in a [[Americans|group of young humans]] appearing, lost and confused, in the center of a ritual circle. They are declared the [Heroes] of [[Rhir]].

The rest of the chapter transitions between different perspectives of people being involuntarily appearing in   Innworld:

* A group of children appear outside an old swordsman's house in the countryside.
* A [[Ryoka Griffin|young woman]] appears at a runner's guild wearing earphones and holding an iPhone.
* Twins appear inside a throne room, with at least one smartphone, where a [[Flos Reimarch|king]] is present.
* A [[Lillian Woods|girl]] teleports from a prison to an adventurer's guild, dressed in a yellow jumpsuit.
* Another [[Cara O'Sullivan|girl]] is teleported into a mysterious tome patrolled by a guardian.
* A [[Laken Godart|blind man]] teleported from a mall into a forest.
