Notes/Letters from the goddess

We've been walking through Faron Woods for awhile before we reach a weird man sitting on a tree stump with a bird nest in his hair. He talked about how with the strange shadow creatures running around he locked the gate to the forest temple and then he gave us the key to the gate. We walked through and then I heard a voice. "Shadow King Dakota follow my voice and enter the realm of shadow" the voice said. I looked in the direction of the voice and said to Link "I'm going to check something out, you continue on without me, ok". "Ok but be careful. he said. "I will" I reply. I follow the path leading to the source of the voice and find a altar with a portal. "Step into the portal and come to the realm of shadow" The voice said. I walk into the portal and when I exit I find myself in a world covered in black, the ground is pitch black and the sky is a dark, creepy shade of purple. I see a path way that has sections divided by gates with a giant castle at the end of it. In front of the first gate a see a woman dressed in a black tank top with black hair and pale skin. "Hello Dakota, do you remember me, i'm Darkness" she said. "Wait your Darkness" I say. "Oh I forgot me and Shad never actually showed you our faces" she said. "Can we trust her?" Phsy asked. "I don't know but she seems to know about our power so I guess we have to" I reply. "So where are we?" I ask. "We are on the path that leads to your new castle, the Shadow Castle" she answers. "Ok so why all the gates?" I ask. "Well as you continue on your journey, one by one the gates will open and they each have a new reward for you. It is not a simple task to open them however, you will open them by gaining new powers witch will happen as you gain experience and show the qualities that are needed to be a Shadow king" she explains. "Ok so how do I do that?" I ask. "Well that is for you to figure out, you should naturally do it as that is why you are chosen to be the Shadow King, as a matter of fact you have already shown one of the qualities" she answers. "What quality is that? I ask. "Friendship, you have made two friends that will do anything to help you, Link and Midna, now go and claim your first reward. I walk over to the gate and open it and inside was a sword in a pedestal, I go to pull it out and when I do a blinding light flashes. When the light fades away I look different, my hair is black and my eyes are red. "Now you are starting to look like a Shadow King. Tonight Shad will teach you how to use the sword, for now I will send you back" she says. A blinding light flashes and i'm gone.
