The analyses of a text#2
The protagonist is a royal family member of Amber.
He can search for or summon something or probe somewhere in Shadows, which are parallel worlds of Amber, through Logrus, invisible, magical limbs.
He was probing somewhere.
A wordless impulse of startlement reached me at the same time as the rushing mass and the return of my Logrus summoning.
Logrus returned with a ring, and there was so many rushing flowers, which someone sent, into where he stood, with its return.
["Trumps of Doom" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]
I'd like to know why it is "the rushing mass," not "the mass rushing."
And I'd like to know "summoning" means "what Logrus summoned."
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you, Clive, for your very helpful answer.
Then, I was wondering why it is "my Logrus summoning," not "my Logrus summoned."
Did he perhaps summon the Logrus to return?

I take summoning to be a gerund..
