I didn't see linking the fires as sacrificing myself. It looked more to me like I became as Gwyn was, before he turned Dark; the embodiment of Fire in the world. Neither of the primordial serpents mentions a sacrifice anyway, they both simply ask you to succeed Lord Gywn.

Kaathe also calls the Age of Dark the Age of Men, and says that Gwyn feared the rise of men.
