The Word -Emblazon

"I didn't take you, Kolt, you were given to me. And I don't give up what is given to me." He sat down, shuffling through papers. "You made it back before the fires went out, but that does not mean that the sun will not rise later in the day because of it. Go. Sleep."
Sleep where? Kolt didn't want to ask. He shook his head. "And what, my training begins tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"No."
"You don't really have a say in it, Kolt, remember?"
"I doubt I'd remember even if you emblazoned it on my fore head." he muttered ducking out of the tent. Honestly he was surprised that Yorvet hadn't done more to him. What was his game plan?

Emblazon -1a: to inscribe or adorn with or as if with heraldic bearings or devices b: to inscribe (as logos or lettering) on a surface 2: celebrate, extol.

Added Info -English speakers have been using the heraldic sense of "emblazon" since the late 16th century, and before that there was the verb "blazon" ("to describe heraldically") and the noun "blazon" ("a heraldic coat of arms"), which descend from Anglo-French blazon. "Emblazon" still refers to adorning something with an emblem of heraldry, but it is now more often used for adorning or publicizing something in any conspicuous way, whether with eye-catching decoration or colorful words of praise.
