Tanya was right.
The Orb was indeed incomplete.
The parts of it which had been caved in were pieces of it that had actually been chipped away but served as the key to its opening.
Without those pieces, Tanya's blood was not going to be enough to unlock it.
However, even as she realized this, the Princess was not put off.
Why should she be put off?
She was closer to achieving her goals.
If she could find all the missing pieces, the Nexus stone would be hers.
The absolute power to rule over the continent would be hers and only hers.
She was so close that despair was not an option.
Not to mention, the Orb was not totally useless...
