When the pressure and energy of the volcano reach a certain level, the volcano will erupt and send the contents out. As you can see, the mermaid is having a hard time catching the sticks with the fire gem that is launched from the volcano below. This powerful thrust is not only due to the sticks but also to the water current. It pushes the sticks towards the light with a very strong force pushing from bottom to top. If the mermaid is not careful, she will most likely be pushed to the other shore world whether she is ready for it or not.
