Just as Phantom did with him, Silkworm took in Nightingale. He always dreamed of having a pup, but he never found the right lover, and alas time slipped away before he even knew it. In an attempt to continue his legacy, and offer a chance at life to a young pup, he took in Nightingale with the help of Steele, a young, spry hunter from the pack. They adopted the little one, and he knew that even after he could no longer care for the pup, she would still have someone there for her. Before he passed, he adorned her fur in gold trinkets he'd found in his many scouting missions.
