So Close! So Far! So Scary?

In this weekend's writings, we finally meet the last of the Jewel Keepers, Damir, the Amborian Jewel Keeper. Now that the Jewel Keepers are complete, they can fulfill the quest to quell the gods.
Damir also has the last piece of the puzzle. Where exactly do they need to go to fulfill the quest? The prophecy has called it "the place of no gods". And no one knew where that was. But Damir knows. And he has a map!
As I write these last few chapters, I'm excited to almost be done with this trilogy. It's been in the planning for a while now, and I'm so close to the end!
And yet, still so far. I have at least three more chapters to write. I wrote the penultimate chapter a while ago, the one where they actually quell the gods. But of course, I'll have to revisit it once I've written everything up to that point. To make sure it holds up. I think it will. But still.
And then, I will write the denouement chapter, wrapping up the trilogy post-quest.
At least one - possibly two - of the chapters to come will be scary, though. I mean, as scary as I write (I'm no George R.R. Martin). And the anticipation of the bad things to come, interestingly, is putting some trepidation in my heart. And I know what will happen!
I can only hope that the fear that something will go wrong at the last minute will come across on the pages as I write. It's my experience that you, as a reader, know the quest will come off. You know the good guys will win. But that doesn't lessen the worry and fear that come from the last battles that stand in our heroes' way.
So close - only four or five more chapters.
So far - still four or five more chapters.
So scary - hopefully the final roadblocks give the readers at least a little frisson of fear that things won't go smoothly.
