The Lich has taken your homeland, your family, your friends, your normal life, and he will take more if you keep running away from him.

You are an integral part of the Lich, he has not yet figured out why, but he needs you to achieve his and possibly your goals. The point is that you were able to free him from his imprisonment so that he could help you kill your abusers. He helped. An eye for an eye. But what if you still need his help? And he's right there!

The longer you run away from him, the more he will kill your acquaintances, friends, so that you realize that there is no one in the world stronger than him and that you only need him!
