Lif and Lifthrasir
In
Norse mythology,
Lif ("life") and
Lifthrasir ("eager for life") will be the only two to survive
Ragnarok, the
end of the world. They will escape the destruction of
Ragnarok by hiding in
Hodmimir's Forest, the only place that the fire
giant Surtur's sword cannot destroy. They will sleep there during the destruction and when they awaken, they will find the earth is green and verdant again. Emerge from their shelter, they will repopulate the world.
