Two years later, they emerged from shelter to look for surviving Daleks and destroy any surviving Thals, but found the surface of [[Skaro]] to be devastated and contracted [[radiation]] sickness. They were discovered by a "[[Dalek|machine Dalek]]" — a mutated Dalek survivor inhabiting the war machine Yarvelling had developed. The two old Daleks rebuilt the war factory, started a Dalek production line, and made a [[Golden Emperor|special casing]] made for [[Dalek Prime|the first Dalek]], who declared itself the [[Dalek Emperor]]. Zolfian and Yarvelling died of radiation sickness just as the casing was completed.

Something akin to the story of Yarvelling, Drenz and Zolfian was one of the [[myth|creation myth]]s formulated by species conquered by the Daleks about their oppressors. The myth, however, altered certain details, speaking of the "[[Ocean of Ooze|Sea of Ooze]]" and suggesting the [[Dalek War Machine]]s were originally intended to be autonomous robots. [[Human]] historians who recorded the myth at length in their history of the Daleks did not give it much credence, though they granted that, for one moment at least, the Yarvelling story may have briefly "become" the true origin of the Daleks at one point during the [[Last Great Time War]].
