If the demon is praying is there a chance that god would let it remain despite being a demon. It hadn't done anything particularly demonic. it is described as being loving and caring enjoying life. it would really be a shame for it to be driven out just because of a technicality. I would suggest a drop note with a little more information on the prompt and the contest or challenge this was written more. from the tone of this piece I would be interested in participating. Perhaps you could add a link to the activity, of course if it is still active. even if it isn't active just in case it opens up again. I really would like to know the demon-child's name. it is just a nitpicky curiosity that I have when a story is this good.
