《Arriving at the Volcano Island》
Approaching the island, Ruby left the Lotus Flower in Marty's control and she boarded a boat with the monkey Jack on her shoulder, to row to the Pantano River, where Tia Dalma's shack was located.

Arriving at the river, Ruby saw people with candles and flowers in their hands, just as they had been the time the Kraken had eaten Jack Sparrow. Ruby was not only confused by what was happening but she also started to think a lot about Jack.

Arriving at the shack, Ruby began to tidy up some things that were on the table, when after a few minutes, a woman of African descent entered the shack with a pink lotus flower in her hands. As Ruby continued to tidy up the little shack, she struck up a conversation with the African descendant who had just arrived.

???: (Enters with a pink lotus flower in her hands) Sorry. Do I bother?
Ruby: No, of course not. Do I know you?
???: (With a shy voice) I don't think so. But I think I know who you are. You are Flame, aren't you? The Goddess of Fire and Hell?
Ruby: The only one. Nice to meet you.
???: My name is Johari. This is for you. (Gives her the lotus flower)

Johari: Do not thank me. Gods deserve gifts.
Ruby: You don't need to treat me like a goddess. I am just another friend.
Johari: I'm glad to know that... Flame. (Smiles) (•••) You look confused.
Ruby: It's just that when I arrived... I saw them all with candles and flowers. Just like the day the Kraken swallowed Jack Sparrow.
Johari: Oh, that. It is a ceremony that we do every time we lose someone dear and important to us.
Ruby: And now you are doing it for...
Johari: Tia Dalma. Yeah. But now is not just sadness. There is also concern. She was the one that took care of this place. Now, who is going to protect us?
Ruby: Don't worry about that. I'm going to take care of all this.
Johari: (Smiles) Really? Thank you very much. I would not want this beautiful shack to be lost.
Ruby: So you know this shack?
Johari: Of course I do! I know every single corner.
Ruby: Then you could help me find a couple of things I need.
Johari: What do you need?
