Spoilers ahead! This page contains detailed information about the story plot of the game.

The player's first encounter with the Singing Yew: After setting Justin free, the Soul Riders seek the tree to help Justin and find Concorde. With a power boost from Alex, the player uses the music of the wind to wake up the Sleeping Yew. Alex tries to ask the tree for a favor, but the Sleeping Yew is a little snappy in the presence of strangers until it notices Tin-Can. Then, the tree asks what the Soul Riders need, and upon hearing their request, it performs the Whisper's Cry with Justin. It likes the idea of keeping him for eternity as a Lignos as payment, but is convinced by the player to let Justin be in exchange for a favor. The tree asks that the player and Alex return at some point in the future to help the tree grow. As the ritual begins, the tree tells Justin to relax and close his eyes during it when he experienced pain, the tree said that it wouldn't keep him but that there would not be any pain. When Justin saw thousands of horses, feeling their joy, purpose and need, the Singing Yew told him to focus on that need, especially Aideen's gift. But when the boy spoke of seeing symbols like on the Runestones, the tree called it the language of Jor. But aware of the danger, the tree told him to hurry as his safety couldn't be guaranteed, and yet just before the connection ended, Concorde was found. Just before Singing Yew reenters its slumber, it reminds Alex and the player that one day they will have to repay the favor.
