The first battle, that of the sky with Ahriman

The sky was filled with darkness and the
coming of the storm, be it from the spirit of
Ahriman. The cold winds were caused by
Ahriman as a means of bringing change,
what was initially was horrible to humans
would make them stronger and allow
progression in life. Ahriman and those devs
called Ahrimanes were indeed spirits who
were of the element air, they reside in
darkness and beget inner light. Ohrmazd
attempted to bring an army of angels to
defeat Ahriman yet he was the mightest of
the Gods, would not bow before another.
Angels fell as darkness and light invaded,
therein was balance. The Daevas would
take any form they desired, from pleasing
to repulsive. No longer would the spirits of
the wind hold the Ahrimanes back, their
desire would shake the foundations of the
world. Astwihad went forth with Ahriman to
conquer the winds of the earth, that all
spirits and demons could ride upon them.
And this was the first awakening, that of the
Air.
