The vigilantes really saw him as a villain of some sort. They thought that his quirk was a high-level shapeshifting ability that made him be able to transform into animals, but now they watched as Lich inserted his fingers on the ground and everything started to tremble. The ground started to break and a ravine opened on the vigilant's feet, making them fall. Lich used his quirk to shake the earth, creating vibrations, then he would expand these vibrations and redirect them, increasing the size of the destruction he was able to do. With a gasp for air, Lich felt tiredly breathing. He just now used too much energy to be able to defeat those guys, he made the whole bug enough for them to die just by the fall. The trees and rocks around the hole or where the hole originally was were also dragged together with the vigilantes.

He coughed, some dust entered his throat. He sighed and used his restart energy to create a pair of wings and change back to his human form. He flew away as fast as he could. He also brought the clothes he needed. When he arrived at where he brought his siblings last time they went to the city: A toy shop. He sighed in relief when he saw Sapphire, Anne, Jun, and Leo talking with each other in a relaxed and childish manner. Lich was taller than he is normally, he wore adult clothes and said: "Let's go. Remember, you three are my children, so call me Papa or Dad. Acting is very important." The wings on his back were long gone, he still felt tired though. 

When he arrived at the hotel, he sighed. It wasn't a luxurious hotel, it was affordable. The receptionist saw four little kids and one handsome guy, she looked at them and saw the man talking to the children and smiling, she could see that he was tired but was doing his best to make his children feel safe. She smiled and said: "Welcome to the Roadside Hotel. How can I help you?" The handsome man smiled at her while saying: "Ah, yes, I would like a room, please." The receptionist nodded, she was also a mother, so she knew what it was hard to take care of a child, now imagine four? "Yes, we have four rooms available."

Lich smiled and asked the price, she said it and he paid it before getting his key. He dragged his siblings upstairs while the reception smiled at the kids. She seemed to be a good woman...  Lich sighed. "Let's go kids." This time Lich was careful about his shadow, would be looking at it several times just to be sure. When they got inside the room, the kids were in awe... It's been two years for Anne, Jun, and Leo since last time they slept in a bed, but this one here was bigger than they ever saw! Sapphire, however, never slept in a bed before. "What's that?" She asked, her voice was cute, just like her appearance. She learned a lot with Lich, he taught every one of his family on the things he knows like languages and mathematics.

"That's a bed little Sapphire," Lich answered, he felt really sad for not having her sleep in a bed before. But now it wasn't time for sadness. He smiled and said: "Come one guys. We're taking a bath and going to sleep tomorrow we're going to eat something." He transformed back to his natural form, his body hurt badly because he was forcefully maintaining his adult form without having the energy to do so. He sighed while taking the excessively big clothes off his body and dragged them to the bathroom. There a bathtub big enough for three people was found and together with one shower. Lich started pouring the water in the tub, he was tired and fatigued. The hot bath released steam in the air and Jun sighed while sitting on the bathtub together with Lich, he said: "So. You won?" Lich nodded his head and Leo chuckled: "Lich Aniki is really powerful!" Lich smiled a little and started to clear Sapphire's golden hair, she laughed as he scrubbed his hands across her hair and Anne wanted Lich to clean her hair too so Lich to use both hands to scrub their heads.

It was relaxing. 

On the bath, he cleaned everyone's hair one by one. Jun acted as he didn't want to, but he enjoyed it. Such a big tsundere he is! Lich started to think... The money he took will do for a while, but he will need more in the future. He wants to get money and wanted to be with his siblings... So he decided. He will steal money from people and deposit it on a bank account. First, he will get documents, next he will open a bank account in a relatively secure bank, and then he will begin to steal from people. He could also steal credit cards, but they get tracked, and if he gets tracked his there's a chance that his siblings will get involved, so there's a chance that they will be in danger. 

Lich sighed once again. He is getting older faster than he wanted to. 

His thoughts wandered for a while. He got on the bed with all his siblings. The bed was big enough to accommodate them all comfortably. He changed to his wolf form, he got some energy when he was in the bath, it was enough for some hours. His siblings would always get closer to him when he was in his wolf form, it was Lich's form of avoiding cold, and his siblings liked to sleep near his fluffy fur. So it became a habit for them. The color of the fur would change depending on how dark the night was, if it was dark he would go with white fur, but if it had the light of the moon he would go with grey or black. Why? Ge doesn't know why... It just feels right. "Ouch." Lich groaned with pain and touched his horn, he sighed. "It is happening again."

He didn't know yet, but his horn was growing.
