Burning Blood

So... What to do for fun now? What do you think, creature of flame? Burn? Ha ha! Outstanding idea! Of course, burn!
Burn is good. However, burning for the sake of burning is boring. Let me think... I got it!
Huge leopards live here. Toothy, predatory and spotted. Hot blood, flaming heart! Would you sacrifice them to the flame? Or shall I feed you to it? Ha ha ha! Don't be afraid, I am kidding! I like you! Just lure these big kitties to the burning bonfire and let the flame consume their beastly blood!

I am worshipped like a god. I am offered sacrifices. They think it will make me merciful! Ha ha ha! Fire cannot be merciful. It ignites to burn, not to lick hands like a stupid puppy. It can be a friend or an enemy, but flame will always be flame!

Eenie, meenie, miney moe.
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go.
Eenie, meenie, miney moe.
...
What, not a tiger, but a leopard? Oh, you ruined the nursery rhyme...
...
Eenie, meenie, miney meil.
Catch a tiger by the tail.
If he hollers, let him be.
Eenie, meenie, miney, me.
...
Now that's better! So what if it's not a tiger? The important thing is for the predator's blood to feed the flame with its power! Look how brightly and merrily it burns! Ha ha ha!
