Lich, still with no clothes, walked forward being followed by three other younger kids. They were calm by now so Lich didn't say anything, just dragged them forward until they arrived at his base, a tree. This tree was hollow inside with some small holes here and there where the light would enter and the smoke of the campfire would leave. Lich unlocked the entrance of the tree, it was just a bunch of thick vines emerging from the ground and warping around the entrance. Lich looked back at the other three kids and said: "Enter." His voice was emotionless, he wasn't so good at speaking anyway. The other three kids looked inside the hole on the tree, there, a small campfire that created a dim light and illuminated the interior of the three, they could see a small child that seemed to have one year, just lying there on the ground.
She didn't have dirt on her body, she didn't have dust in her face, she didn't have dirty clothes, her clothes were completely clean and white. She was round and a little fat, her golden hair was shiningly clean and her small sandals were cute on her feet. Lich walked towards her, from the ground a group of vines and roots warped around her body, creating a bed of some sort. Lich looked at the other three kids who were still curious and scared, he approached the fireplace and used his energy to control it. With the flames, he started to with it and train his control. Making small bullets of fire, changing the shape of the fire to a bird, small butterflies, and other small insects, and even a small feline. He breathed in and out, his energy started to slowly but surely become full again.
"Uh..." The small child with wings tried to get Lich's attention, he was curious but also scared of saying anything. "Thank you..." He said quietly, this child seemingly was shy, but Lich could see that his wings were slowly flapping, the movement was almost unnoticed by him. Lich nodded his head and closed the tree with a wave of his hand when he saw that all the kids were inside, so with a wave of his hand several roots emerged from the ground and closed the "door" of the tree. He looked as the children were still scared, he then decided to do something about it, from his body, fur started to grow, his hands and legs started to change shape and from his back, a tail popped out. Lich changed his shape to a big wolf, a big grey wolf! The place was big enough so Lich wasn't preoccupied with getting stuck or something like that.
He approached the children and tried to comfort them with cuddles in his wolf form because it was a warm form that had fluffy fur, and kids like fluffy things... Right? The girl with horns was curious about him, the children that changed color was also excited, and the kid with wings was a little scared of him. Lich wasn't dense, no, he can easily know what others feel, he, however, cannot express his emotions easily. With his wolf form, he gathered the children in one place near the fireplace and lied around them, to keep them warm he also did so with the small girl who was lying on the bed of roots, he just stayed there... Waiting for them to go to sleep. And when they did, he also did but making sure that the no smoke would accumulate inside the tree. Only then he went to sleep.

The next morning, he woke up before everyone. He slowly changed his form back to humans and started to leave the tree. It may be considered prehistoric his lifestyle, he unconsciously started to think about the children before himself... With a sigh, his body began to one more time but this time feathers jumped out of his skin, from his back a pair of bones popped out, his height became lower and his jaw became sharper... Lich changed his form to a Bald Eagle and soared to the sky, he was going to get food and water. His wings flapped and he flew across the blue sky, looking down he could see everything...He observed as animals would run around, and he also saw the civilization, where several other humans lived and killed each other.
He landed on top of a grocery store, he knew the kids would want something sweet, so he wanted to steal it. He then had an idea, but he didn't know if it would work... With a sigh, he changed his form to a rat and made a hole on the ceiling that he used to enter the store, he then found what he wanted and transformed into an eagle but before that, he did something he wanted to try: He changed his rat form and added a small pouch, like a Kangaroo. He never tried to change his body and fuse two or more animal forms... Maybe he can change his human form too? He would need to try it later. Anyway, he successfully stole food, water, and clothes and returned to his tree base, it has been only one hour since he left, so he is uncertain if the children woke up or not. His eagle form was bigger than before, it seems that he can change the size of the animal too, it would only hurt a little bit, but he could endure it.
He landed near his base and changed back to human, still without clothes but now he was clean at least. He opened the door of roots and entered the base, the children were now awakened and talking with each other, he just went forward and gave to each of them something to eat and drink and gave an apple to the one-year-old child. She giggled and smiled at Lich who smiled back, then it happened. Her jaw expanded and she literally swallowed the whole apple! That was her Quirk, she could expand parts of her body, she could also control things that weren't normally controllable, like her hair or maybe even blood! Lich ate the fruits that he received from the trees and the water on the bottles and sighed. He didn't have an objective... He wants the best for his younger siblings, and that's it. He doesn't even know what he wants for himself! At first, he wanted to escape, wanted freedom... And now that he has it, he doesn't know what to do with it.
He observed the children talk with each other, it seems like they are calmer now. He sighed and went back to use his quirk to try and control more air, earth, and other things. He then decided to just continue to live on and let the future decide what will happen... Sadly he didn't know that the future wanted to fuck him.
