Ever since he was saved from hand mines by a mysterious man in a blue box, young Davros has been plagued by night terrors. While in the woods, Davros encounters a young boy named Elwyn, who claims to be one of the last of the Dal race; the boy also prophecies that Davros will end the war between the Kaleds and Thals, and offers to take him to see his future. The boys journey through the wilderness, braving mutated horrors caused by radiation from the terrible war, before finally arriving at an ancient city; here they meet a wizened old Dal woman, who shows Davros a vision of his future: of cruelty, evil robots and death.
