Sorry it's taken me so long to post this, but here it is-from the Zend Avesta of Zarathustra
Vendid, Fargard 1
I Ahura Mazda Spake unto Spitama Zarathustra saying: First I have made the Kingdom of Light, Dear to all Life.
I cast my shadow Angra Mainyou, Who is all death.
The second of the good Kingdoms, which I, Ahura Mazda, created, was Ahura the Preserver.
Therupon came Angra Mainyou, who is all death, and he counter-created Deva Spoiler.
The third of the good Kingdom, whic I, Ahura Mazda, created, was the Ahura of Eternal Life.
Thereupon came Angra Mainyu, who is all Death, and he counter-created the Deva of Death.
The fourth of the good Kingdoms, which I, Ahura Mazda, created, was the Ahura of Wisdom.
Thereupon came Angra Mainyu, who is all Death, and he counter created the Deva of Ignorance.
It goes on in this vein-
